With gratitude to Andy Selman for the background music to the Jingle.
With thanks to Wilma Scott for the artwork that she did for the original publication, which I have reproduced here.
Also with gratitude to Mick Donelan, whom I met all those years ago (1980) in Ray Alan Manshops on Pinstone Street in Sheffield.
Finally, thanks to Fr. Christopher Posluszny of St. Mary's Cathedral in Sheffield for inviting me to speak to his catechumens under the title 'Meet the Jesus of the gospels', which gave me the idea in the first place.
If you want to read Mark's Gospel for yourself, the Bible Gateway website is good.
