Abstract

Modern schools in Europe propose educational goals that aim at an integral development of an individual. School as an institution carries out educational processes by developing competence, skills and knowledge in various areas of life, including religion. To incite a sense of “religion” in new generations, it is expedient that every teacher of religion should not only have knowledge of various pedagogical currents and scientific theories but, above all, s/he should know how to respond to the specific challenges of the modern society. The competence of religion teachers in Europe must, therefore, go beyond the borders of countries, cultures and religions, so that, the educational process could enable young people to respond to the new socio-political, geographic and religious challenges. Those challenges imply the necessity of deepening pedagogical, psychological, theological and educational skills of religion teachers. Teaching of religion can help in the integration of the European Community.
