Summary
Christianity stems from the teaching of Jesus
Christ in the 1st Century. Christians are divided into various
groups or denominations who vary slightly in their beliefs and
practices. Christian denominations include Roman Catholic,
Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Methodist and United Reformed.
Christians believe in one God who created
everything that exists. They believe he came to Earth as Jesus
Christ, suffered and died in order to show his love for, and
become a closer part of his creation.
Christians believe that by having faith in Jesus
and by living in accordance with his teachings they will be
rewarded with everlasting life in heaven.

Visiting a Church (Start Up Religion)
Authors: Ruth Nason
Synopsis: This brand new addition to the
Start-Up brand has been created specially to support the Schemes of Work
for Religion at KS1 and lower KS2. Each book covers different aspects of
religion, and the part it plays in people's lives - the basic belief of
different religions, the places of worship and sacred texts that are
used. Key words are highlighted in the text and repeated in the border,
to help reinforce the new vocabulary, while teacher's notes explain how
to use the books and suggest further activities and useful websites. An
ideal introduction to religion for young children!
