We embrace RE as a subject partly because of its potential for deep thinking; for asking the big questions in life.

This Spring Year 5/6 have been asking the question, ‘If God were holy and loving, why is there suffering in the world.’ Here are some of their responses:-

  • ‘God is holy and loving but he has left people free will to do what they want and has allowed them to make mistakes and learn from these.’
  • ‘Unfortunately only some people seem to learn from their mistakes.’
  • ‘It’s our fault that there are bad things happening in the world- this is our responsibility, not God’s’
  • ‘God has gifted us freedom. It is up to us to use it well.’
