Several tensions are visible in contemporary Dutch society, including those around refugees and sexual diversity, and the place of (strict) religion in society has changed. From both a theoretical and empirical perspective, we examine what this means for Christian education in general and for teachers in conservative Protestant schools in particular when it comes to citizenship education. It is concluded that the role of the school board and management is important in supporting teachers and promoting a shared vision within the school. In thinking about Christian citizenship education, a focus on Christian attitudes instead of morals has become more important, as it is in religious education.
