In assembly on Friday we considered how important it is to respect those in authority and why it is important to do this.
We looked at a few examples of when this doesn't happen, and what the consequences of this might be and reflected on what this might teach us. In particular we compared the way in which sportsmen respect referees - with a particular focus on the differences between footballers and rugby players! It was very interesting to see how two completely different games, have two very different approaches.
Our prayers focused on those in authority that Jesus calls us to pray for, but also we prayed for those who really need people in authority to stand up and take action on their behalf.
