"The controversial hymn 'It Was on a Friday Morning' will not be included in any future editions of the new U.S. military forces' hymnal, according to a statement released jointly by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the chief of chaplains. The hymn has generated thousands of letters of protest" (Christianity Today, December 17, 1976, pp. 39-40). It has been only months since the argument raged over the "controversial hymn" which attributed the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth to a Friday morning. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
