OCCA Visit

April 26, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Today we had the pleasure of receiving a visit from OCCA (The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics).

Our Year 12 students spent a couple hours with OCCA along with some other students from local schools. The event ran for a couple of hours consisting of Q+A style sessions and team building exercises where sixth form students were able to ask questions about the Christian faith.

Here are some of the questions the sixth formers came up with for our hosts:

How do you believe that science and religion can work in unison?

Who created God?

How in a world of science and technology, how do we know what the truth is?

What is the evidence for God?

Alanzo and Tom from OCCA shared their stories and answered some questions along with the help of our friends from Step.
