Next week we make it happen... the Trial of Christ
I'm getting geared up for next week, which promises to be action-packed.
On Thursday at 3 pm in the Courtroom at St. Thomas we will be presenting the sentencing phase of the trial of Christ. I will serve as prosecutor, and Cook County (Illinois) public defender Jeanne Bishop will be... well, defending. Our second chairs will be St. Thomas students Sara Sommervold and Jon Scheib.
Then on Saturday night at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, we will be doing it all over again. The judge will be former VA Attorney General Bill Broaddus. You can see all the details here.
If you can, I would love it if people came to see this-- it is going to be something special. There was this amazing spirit that grew up around the first presentation in Virginia, and I think it will continue through this.

I would be tempted to prove him him an enemy of Rome and its citizens.He claims to be the King of the Jews and The Son of God. These are claims that only the Emperor can make.He wants to supplant the emperor. He is a threat to the life and sovereignty of the emperor. He is attempting to set up a system whereby the Jews will only obey Him which will lead to lawlessness and the death of innocents. He encourages the people to disobey Jewish law,a law that keeps the people in line. He encourages hatred of the wealthy,and the most notable of the wealthy certainly must be the emperor. He is already able to draw large crowds of followers,which might easily be converted into an army. He has already said that he will tear the temple down in three days. What can this mean but insurrection? Caiaphas the high priest says himself that it it better for one man to die for all than all to die because of one man. Okay,Mark,that's all I've got. I'm not a lawyer,although I have seen every episode of "Boston Legal."
