In today’s Collective Worship, Reverend Darleen told the story of ‘Doubting’ Thomas, the Apostle who refused to believe Jesus had revealed himself to the other ten surviving disciples until he saw Jesus with his own eyes and felt with his own hands the wounds on Jesus’ body. Darleen talked about the courage Thomas showed to be honest about his doubts and to ask questions, to demand evidence. He did not follow the crowd even though, of course, he wanted to believe that Jesus had risen again. Reverend Darleen’s closing message:
“If you want the best experiences in life, don’t follow the crowd. Have the courage to ask questions and think for yourselves.”
