Sorry..I got it mixed up with q6 in the 2001 paper (which is very similar) though it still does look very familiar. In fact, Im stil sure I have seen it before....

Might be a past CCSA Trials question (or this years? As I said, I dont have access to my papers at the moment therefore I dont have access to the Trials answers) but the answer is ecumenism as it says so in the syllabus:

recognition of common elements in religious expression and world views in Australia today:
– religious harmony and inter-faith dialogue
– ecumenical developments within Christianity, eg the World Council of Churches, National Council of Churches in Australia, the Sydney College of Divinity, the Australian College of Theology
– joint inter-faith and ecumenical initiatives, eg in times of crisis or tragedy.

Its on page 42 of the current syllabus-grab a copy from the board of studies website if you dont have it!

Your head of RE sounds like they shouldnt be teaching the subject if they dont know the difference between ecumenism (dialogue between Christians) and inter-faith dialogue (dialogue between religions eg Christian and Jews)!

If they dont know who the WCoC is, tell them to go to http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/who/index-e.html and then to have a look at http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/who/mch-e.html Looks all Christian to me!!

From their website

The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfil together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Is Iggies in the Parramatta Dicoese / use Sharing Our Story by any chance? If so, that is even scarier as there is a unit in Yr 10 on Ecumenism....
