Yes, I do, but they're not the most reliable students I've ever had! Hello, Shirl. Maybe he did! Lee, I sure was. WW - quite. Anon: I was trying to explain simply to a man with limited English, in a very short time and it's not as if I had been able to prepare for it. I'm a languages teacher not a theology one and I did my best. The student knew that. I looked up the reason why it is called "good" Friday not long afterwards and it seems I was not far off the mark.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-13437003186731627682007-04-02T17:10:00.000+02:002007-04-02T17:10:00.000+02:00I think the explanation that we call it 'Good Frid...I think the explanation that we call it 'Good Friday' because Jesus was 'good' rather facile - most of us poor sinners are 'good'.

It's hard enough to explain the Virgin birth, Trinity, Roman Catholic v Protestant debates, and how festivals fit in, to someone of the same language, let alone a man from the Orient.

"Send reinforcements, we are going to advance" transposed into "send three and fourpence (oops - pre-decimal again) we are going to a dance"..This always tickled me - but only when I was very very young..
