Richard Foyle and five A level students.
Thanks to you, Richard, and to you, the students. Really enjoyed your questions. Keep an eye on the web site to see other schools interact in this way.
BTW, the video clip and photos of South Sudan I showed at your assembly this morning are on:

What are your beliefs on war? Do you think the world would be a better place if there was no more wars?
Yes, world would be much better with no wars. No wars, thank God, in heaven. We do need to remember, however, to protect the vulnerable. Coalition Armies may be seen as a sort of international police force, when used authentically, to protect the weak eg in Bosnia, Sierra Leone, the Second World War.

If you are bright enough, yes go for it. if offered a place at Uni, I would encourage you to accept it. Education is worth investing in, and there are grants for students from poorer families.

Do you think there are absolute moral principles?
Absolutely...In the car to the Branksome station after your assembly this morning, I heard BBC Radio 4. I think it was The Moral Maze. Matthew Parris, Times journalist, was denying absolute moral principles, but it seems to me that he would have to grant that incest and murder and child abuse are principles in most cultures. God gives us guidelines in his scriptures and especially in the life of Christ, how best to live - the Maker's instructions - and these are helpful.

Do you think that the stories in the Bible such as the feeding of the five thousand, the parting of the red sea, the burning bush, Noah's ark etc. all literally happened or are metaphors/teachings to learn from?
It depends on the genre or type of literature the story is in. Since I believe God raised Jesus from the dead, I don't have problems with lesser miracles eg Jesus feeding 5000 people, the Red Sea parting. Noah's ark, it seems to me, is more story than history and I interpret that as a timeless story of God's surprising salvation. BTW, the Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, has a great answer to the question 'Why did God part the Red Sea?' 'Because the Israelites needed to get to the other side.'...

If God is real then why is there so much suffering in the world?
Thanks. Heaviest question in the world...In short, I believe God is all loving, all powerful and also, horribly evil exists. The gift of free will is part of a possible answer: God sees it as crucial that he does not force us to behave as he wishes. In the end, I can only point to the cross of Christ when people say: God made the world and he should pay for all the awfulness in it. On Good Friday, in Christ, I believe he did.
