religious ed

Church school subject

Religious ed is short for religious education—instruction in faith traditions, scripture, and moral teachings, typically offered through churches, synagogues, or parochial schools.

Catholic parishes often run religious ed programs for children not enrolled in Catholic schools: My kids have religious ed on Wednesday nights.

Sometimes called CCD or Sunday school.
