Faith in action, Values in action
Faith without work is dead, it is said. Hypocrites say one thing and do the opposite. If you really believe what you claim, you might be willing to die for it – or live for it. Pupils can consider religious exemplars of faith from Guru Nanak, the Muslim prophets, Jewish patriarchs and Biblical ‘action figures’. They can also think about their own values and dearest beliefs: how do these values and beliefs make a difference? Start with this sentence: ‘My beliefs and values make a difference because…’ Use quotes from wisdom sources in your work!This is a great theme for examination students, who are always asked: ‘what is the impact of this belief?’ How would they like to answer?
