Questions from the Kids in Saint Stephen's Gathering

Last Sunday, October 22, 2006, Karen Dedo asked if it would be possible for the clergy to address some of the questions that our younger members are asking in their Sunday School classes. I quickly and completely offered that such questions would be more than welcome. So, here are some of the kid's questions. I will be offering my responses as part of my Gospel Reflection each week and on this blog. I am also inviting our other clergy to offer their responses through our sermons or when we visit the children's classes on Sunday.

I would also welcome responses from our adult membership or their reflections on when they asked such questions of faith.

Questions from Our Younger Members (October 22, 2006)

What was there before God created the world? What color was it? Was it green? No, it must have been clear because there was nothing.

How can there be forever? How can God be forever? Time can't be forever. It must end somewhere.


How come people used to talk to God and see God but now they can't? He's not visible to us.

Why do you say that Jesus was God's son when he was Mary and Joseph's son.
