Jade Goody - an ulikely heroine

Jane Goody was an ordinary person who became famous, and infamous, through reality TV. Her very public death from cancer has received wide media coverage not only in her own country of Britain, but also in Germany. A few weeks before her death she was baptised into the Church of England. Her funeral took place 4 April. The Sermon by the Rev Corinne Brixton, who also baptised Jade may interest those pondering the meaning of Holy Week.
This is a week for the unlikely hero.
