The Most Revd and Rt Hon Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York called in at York Minster's Centre for School Visits yesterday to experience a lesson with York Minster's trained Education Officers.  Dr Sentamu joined in with the visit of Years 5 and 6 from Tockwith Church of England Primary School.

The Most Revd and Rt Hon Dr John Sentamu said:   “I thoroughly enjoyed my time with children from across York at York Minster’s Centre for School Visits. It was good to see the children enjoying their learning, particularly about a place which is part of both their heritage, present and future. For me Christianity is a faith of prayer and parties, so it was good to see the children laughing and learning as they dressed up in clerical vestments – as a vicar, a priest and a bishop - and learnt more about the Minster as a place of living worship.”
