ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates the wealth of knowledge taught and learned in many faith-based settings while raising questions underlying implications for further work. It discusses the importance of taking a critical stance toward history when considering why researchers and practitioners may fail to appreciate diverse religious contexts as rich sites for teaching and learning. The book provides a strong rationale for eliminating binaries between learning in religious settings and learning in other contexts, recognizing the wealth of insights that can be gained as essential to the growth of a plural-istic society. Believing deeply in children's abilities and potential, adults gave them leadership roles, trusting and expecting them to succeed. Learners were supported in using multilingual resources, drawing from multiple worlds to syncretically create new spaces for learning and teaching.
