Can you answer...

Those of you who get involved in the interface with schools will recognise David Saunder's tale. In Wells-next-the-Sea, a retired teacher fixes an annual meeting of Churches Together with junior school children. Two Anglicans and a Quaker went this year, to be faced with such enquiries as:
Has God got a face?
Why do wars start?
Does religion start wars?
Can murderers be forgiven?
Why can’t there be one religion/faith for everyone?
What happens when you die?
Who created the world?
...all to be answered in less than an hour.
This may be the soundbite generation, but it certainly gets straight to the point!
