As Theo used examples from his own life, he challenged students to consider what has tested their own faith and to reflect and write on that topic through poetry, after a 15 minute introduction that included students listening to a song and reading lyrics related to the topic, students were encouraged to work together and move to a comfortable place and write.

Spending time with our families is something that we all need to do more of. Not so many years ago, when it was rare for families to have cars or take exotic holidays abroad, many a happy weekend was spent catching the train or bus to a location not too far away, with a tent and a few bits of camping equipment. It would often be a spur of the moment decision, if the weather was fine, to disappear into the nearby countryside for a couple of days with everyone carrying their share of the luggage in a back pack. These days a camping holiday involves loading up the car with a tent the size of St Paul's Cathedral, as well as the vital camping equipment such as fridge, portable shower and loo, complicated cooking equipment, coffee maker, duvet, bed mattress and so on and driving to the South of France to a camp site that is so well equipped that even the most demanding diva would have no problem staying there for a month or two.
