It's a very powerful and stirring drama - what is liberty, what is fair, what is just and unjust? How do we act as humans in the world? In a world which is not always kind or fair. How do our actions affect others? Can we make up for our mistakes? And how can we live with the fear of our past? So many deep questions, so you have a lot of material to work with... I kind of resonate with whoever said, "My only religion is kindness" which I think the Bishop exemplifies, but like many things, it's easier said than done. <br />Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292408696265388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264413312316404904.post-87859601787668365282013-04-02T16:22:32.379-05:002013-04-02T16:22:32.379-05:00I've been blessed to know many many people lik...I've been blessed to know many many people like this. A couple of them were my parents. A couple are my in laws. One is my husband. You can't say enough good about an attitude of charity. (And my definition of charity is the true love of Christ.)
