Talking Point

From Silas, our Circuit Superintendent:

When someone dies, and especially if it's a child or young person, we see messages of condolence on balloons, teddies, social media etc saying "Heaven needed another angel" or "Gone to be with the angels". Yet the people who share these messages are often those who would not profess to have a faith of any religion. So this week's questions is -

"Can you believe in Heaven and angels but not believe in God?"
