What does the Archbishop look like?
He is tall, white, with grey hair. He smiled all the time, when talking to the children.
How did the Archbishop come to sign your Bible?
He found me outside the church (All Saints Cathedral) and he held up my Bible and signed it.
How did you feel?
Very happy, because I was the only one he picked on among other children. I had never seen him. I was very excited.
Why did he pick on you alone and not other children?
I am a good reader. That Sunday morning, I had read the first reading from Romans 12:9-21. That was during the eight o’clock service.
Who told you that you are a good reader?
The Archbishop told me so. He also said my Bible is modern. It has coloured pictures, bigger letters and a dictionary for difficult words. It is titled “Bible for young readers.â€
Where did you get your Bible?
My grandparents gave it to me as a gift for my birthday. I am 10 years old.
When do you read it?
Anytime or when someone asks me to read a verse out loudly.
Where do you start from?
I normally write some verses at the back of my Bible. I memorise those verses.
Would you tell other children to read the Bible?
Yes.
Why?
It will help them to know God’s word. Even the Archbishop told me to read my books very hard and also the Bible.
What do you love to do most?
Swimming. I also like modeling.
