Who Is This?

Bishop Graham of Sherborne visits our school.

Today we were honoured by a visit from Dr.Graham Kings, Bishop of Sherborne.
First he took assembly and reminded us of the story of Jesus getting lost as a child.
 "Later, He was found in the temple asking questions of the elders." Bishop Graham explained that Jesus
"increased in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man." [ Luke 2.52]
 for it is through seeking answers to questions that we learn.
Then the Bishop volunteered to answer any questions about God. As always we thought of many!
"How did God make the earth?" "Why did Jesus go back to heaven?" "Does God only see Christians?" "Why does God let bad things happen?" "Where did God get the idea of humans?" "Where is God?" "What does God do?"
Bishop Graham's answers left us in no doubt that God is the creator, He is all around and with us always. He loves us and wants us to love His world and the people in it. He loves us so much He allows us freedom and choice.
Finally he asked us a question 'What do you think God is like?' Here are some of the answers inspired by the visit.... 'loving', 'gentle', 'caring', 'considerate',  'creative', 'thoughtful',  'kind', ''generous',                                                                                    AMAZING!
