Good Friday: Trials and Transformations

Available for 26 days

The human suffering at the heart of Good Friday resonates powerfully in turbulent and anxious times. The Rev Alison Jack and Linden Bicket of New College, Edinburgh, find meaning in the story, how and why it was written, and how its impact has endured over two millennia. With personal stories of finding paths through anguish, they hear from Moira Taylor-Wintersgill, a minister in Orkney who lost her daughter in an accident ten years ago, about living with that loss, and David Harper, who has spent years working with people seeking healing from the damage caused by childhood trauma and addiction.
