are special to
Hindus.
Lords Prayer Project
‘We were able to ask big questions
such as ‘is he (God) looking after us?’
‘We learnt about what people do
when they pray and the special
places that they go to’.
‘We discussed our thoughts on
whether God made the world or if it
was atoms joining together’.
‘We learnt the Lords Prayer in sign
language’.
