#BGSYear9 have been learning about arguments for God, and as a part of our discussion we were talking about cause and effect. In order to illustrate the idea that all physical events have causes… we made a domino run!

Back in the Autumn Term #BGSYear8 were studying the causes of poverty, and #BGSYear11 were studying world poverty and the effects of war. Useful article her by the United Nations highlighting how interconnected these two issues are.

As part of our GCSE and A Level Religious Studies courses, we discuss the issue of euthanasia, interesting to see whether this leads to a change in the law later this year. #BGSReligiousStudies

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

Should there be a new vote in parliament on assisted dying?

MPs on the health select committee don't go that far but they do say the government needs to discuss the subject.

Dame Esther Rantzen, who's called for a vote, spoke to #R4Today of her disappointment.
