Hitik: International Journal of Catechists and Religious Educators
Hitik: International Journal of Catechists and Religious Educators is the official international journal publication of the Religious Educators Association of the Philippines, Inc. (REAP, Inc.). It is an open access journal that publishes research journal articles bi-annually. Articles published in this journal are peer-reviewed and editorial-reviewed and typically come from the research papers presented at the annual National Conference on Catechesis and Religious Education of REAP, Inc., and submissions from catechists, theologians, and religious and values educators. This Journal Publication accepts articles with multidisciplinary interests in catechesis, religious education, values education, theology, spirituality, and other related topics.
Hitik is a Filipino word that means “abundant”, a description that may be given to the growing number of people interested in studying catechesis and religious education. Since the journal is the official publication of REAP, Inc., the association’s scriptural basis from Mt. 9:37-38, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest”, has inspired the dawn of this academic journal. There is an abundance of scholars and, at the same time, an abundance of knowledge waiting to be published in this international journal publication.
