Not only open, but also inviting! Non-denominationalism as a Task for Protestant Religious Education in Saarland

In the German state of Saarland, comparatively few pupils have no religious affiliation. It is nevertheless necessary for religious education to respond to the growing number of secularly oriented students on a didactical and organizational level.
