Thank you to Carolyn Robertson for the excellent advice about teaching the creation story to our children. Sadly, the interpretation of the Genesis account of this story will inevitably continue to be argued about in churches for some years to come, but it is very important that at the grassroots level – our kids’ classes – teachers don’t give conflicting and confusing messages.

The creation story and its message about how God created the world and created it good remain as relevant as ever but we should be able to relate it to a modern understanding of the process by which the world was formed. Keep up the good work!
