Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar.

Raksha Bandhan in a day of celebration of the special bond between a brother and a sister, symbolised by the sister tying a thread around the wirst of her brother.

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all those who celebrate!

The former Bishop's palace in Carmarthenshire is the place the New Testament + the Book of Common Prayer were first translated into Welsh in the 1500s. Since hubby wouldn't take me to the museum of religious life last year, I only dropped this knowledge in as we arrived #TeamRE #surreptitiousREvisit

One more for the #TeamRE summer church crawl. The very simple but lovely chapel in the former Bishop's palace in Carmarthen. It is now the carmarthenshire museum

I think this guy should join #TeamRE
He's William Harvard a former bishop of St David's and St Asaph's. He was very active in promoting RE in schools. This painting is hanging in the chapel of the former Bishops palace which is now Carmarthenshire Museum.

This table shows the differences in uptake of A level RS between counties.
What is provision like where you teach - and do you have any ideas about why these differences exist?

One for #TeamReUk.

So many of us will be using “Nobody Stands Nowhere” at the start of the year. I think I could make better use of it. Can you share exactly what you do with it and what comes next?
