  1. Faith Schools and Students’ Tolerance of Religious Groups Helen Everett helenev30@yahoo.co.uk

  2. Walzer’s Tolerance Continuum • Resigned acceptance for the sake of peace • Benign indifference to difference • Moral stoicism – others have rights even if they express them in unattractive ways • Curiosity; perhaps even respect, a willingness to listen and learn • Enthusiastic endorsement – diversity of God’s creation or necessary condition of human flourishing

  3. The Six Research Schools • Roman Catholic Independent RCI • Roman Catholic State RCS • Evangelical Christian Independent ECI • Muslim Independent MI • Non-Faith State NFS • Non-Faith Independent NFI

  4. Percentage of active tolerance interview responses towards those of another faith.

  5. ‘I found it really interesting to see like stuff differently. [.....] so I just found it really interesting. Because actually the way ..... the way the service like went not similar, but it was like they did their equivalent of the Bible, the Torah, like they hold it up and walk around with it like we do and I just found it really interesting to see the difference.’ [Harriet RCI]

  6. ‘I think everyone has their right to show their religion. Go to somewhere where they can worship... I probably wouldn’t do anything about it’ [Esther ECI]

  7. ‘It doesn’t really bother me because it’s their religion, their faith they get to do what they want and they have to do it’ [Saira MI]

  8. ‘Well I don’t think I’d sign it because I think if that’s their business you shouldn’t.... I’m sure if a Christian …they probably wouldn’t support a Christian church because they’re not Christian, it’s not really their place, I’m not a Hindu it’s not my place to be.. I’m not any part of their community. I shouldn’t be supporting something I’m not part of.’ [Hugh NFI]

  9. Percentage of active tolerance interview responses towards immigrants and those on the margins of society.

  10. Because there are lots of immigrants who come to this country who need to find people who like want to be in a community and find people like them maybe. And I think it would be just a good thing.’[Pippa NFI (immigrants)]

  11. ‘Because I don’t think that’s my place really. I’m not an immigrant. I’ve never had any experience of immigration. ‘ [Hugh NFI (immigrant)] ‘It wouldn’t really have anything to do with me so I wouldn’t really care’ [Ben ECI (immigrants)]
