From there he applied to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and heat 8,000 hopefuls to win one of just 28 places. He became only the second student from

To discover that God had moved in more mysterious ways than I had thought and to find that the universe is vaster than I had known, no longer had any effect on my faith, no longer quite so


simple as it had been. As time goes by we are always making new disco­

to utilise things we cannot fully understand. We rea­ lise it would be foolish to refuse to use a car, or a calculator, just because we are not able to understand


how everything works. In the light of new knowledge we have to accept enlightenment that brings about different points of view, but always God remains just the same. Our conception of Him is sometimes changed to compel us to admit the fact that He is far more wonderful than we had previously thought.
