Abstract: | The first section of this article provides a critical appraisal of recent government guidance on sex and relationship education in England, and identifies a number of contradictions and omissions within it. Typical of these is the failure to discuss the contribution that spiritual development might make to sex and relationship education. The second section adds an overt Christian theological analysis to the critique, demonstrating that even in post-modern times religious thought has an important contribution to make to the discussion of sex education. |
