Pluralism wins the hearts and minds of staff and boys at Sutton Grammar School

'Question Time' at Sutton Grammar School on 15th July 2009

The RE department at Sutton Grammar School organised a 'Question Time' session with a panel of faith members. Over a hundred year 10 boys were allowed to fire pointed questions at the panel. One of the pointed questions that came up was: Which of your religions is right and hence who in the panel is going to hell?
The Hindu response invoked pluralism. This concept touched the hearts and minds of the students. The Head of RE in her appraisal said: Dear Jay You were a resounding hit with both the boys and staff and I have had several of both comment on how impressed they were with what you said. The Head and I were chatting about you after the event and both of us were particularly taken with the way you said Dawkins was making spiritual progress in his own way (many boys are rigid empiricists and hold Dawkins up as their idol). We also loved the way you described your conclusion that there has to be more to life than the material. Emma
