| - Religious literacy is the knowledge of, and ability to understand, religion. The importance of being religiously literate is increasing as globalisation has created greater links and migration between societies of different faiths and cultures. It has been proposed that including religious literacy as an aspect of public education would improve social cohesion.In addition to being familiar with and comprehending the nature of religious experience, religious literacy is a fundamental understanding of the complexities, contradictions, and difficulties of at least one religious tradition.It embraces diversity and promotes balanced and wise engagement with the religious aspects of human culture. Beginning with the 2015 Religion Communicators Council Convention in Alexandria, Virginia, religious literacy will be a top priority. As religious communicators, we are aware of the consequences that can arise when the general public and the media are unable to comprehend the cultural and religious nuances of the current events that are taking place in our world today. Conflicts are exacerbated by a lack of awareness of the fundamental beliefs held by various religions around the world. RCC has a role to play as the only faith-oriented accredited public relations association. It uses its interfaith members to help the secular media understand diverse faith dynamics and provides members with resources to help them understand other faith traditions. (en)
