G'day GUEST,axman664,

If you really want to challenge your congregation to look a Good Friday outside of the stained glass window ... I would suggest Sydney Carter's Friday Morning - sadly, not in the DT. This is a song the unthinking will accuse of blasphemy, but it is a sincere look at the real meaning and paradox of the crucifixion - expressed by one of the thieves hanging beside Christ.

If you can't find - I can send you a scan. Stainer & Bell's retentive attitude to Sydney's work prevents valid use ... and profit ... but they have control ... and poor old Sydney can not exercise his free and loving attitude to his songs any more.
