In Richmond, Virginia, the Church of the Holy Comforter held a modern trial for Jesus, to raise consciousness about the death penalty today—with fascinating results.
Some dramatic moments were part of the experience:
In her closing argument, Bishop told the jury that Jesus loved his enemies. “A man who showed such compassion is at least deserving of your compassion at this moment,” she said.
Osler rebutted that Jesus had “poked a hole in the fabric of society. Are you going to let it tear or are your going to keep it a small hole?” he asked as he tore a hole in his own pressed, white button-down shirt to gasps in the crowd.
