The song “Forgiveness for Humanity” contains climate justice lyrics written by our son Ben – thank you.

And to Joe, another son! – for help with lyrics on “Easter prayer” and for the little story on “Oscar Romero”- thank you.

Thanks to my PA Isobel for organising this latest project on behalf of the Garth Hewitt Foundation, also for putting together the pictures and copy for the “Easter Revolution” Booklet.
