National Congress

This fact mobilized the educators, religious entities and other sectors of the society who, during months, had taken some initiatives, amongst them the performance next to the National Congress and to the Ministry of the Education, in sight of the alteration of the related device. Amongst all the modifications carried through in Religious Ensino, currently, one becomes distinction between the education of the particular schools and the public schools, each one appealing its particularitities. Inside of the spirit of the new law of Religious Ensino, she is necessary to have present that it is not desired to give catequese in the public school, but to make an education that respects the cultural plurality and the religious diversity inherent most of our estudantil population. It is not function of the public school to educate the faith, nor to make proselitismo, that is, propaganda of one another religious confession. The objective is to present transcendente, as it is conceived in the most varied religious cultures and traditions.

However, we can verify that the religious schools already perceive that the pluralism of religious options does not only exist in the official net. Also inside of a college catholic, Methodist, baptist and others, it has pupils that they choose the educational establishment for different reasons of the religious formation. This beginning of affirmation of religious pluralism in Brazil, reality that tends if to extend in the next years, must provoke not a proselitista logic and of conversion, but the challenge of a permanent dialogal exercise.
