An Awful Thing (Fleming Rutledge)

During Holy Week several years ago, a woman I’ll call Jane participated in our church’s dramatized version of the Easter story. It was her first time, and as a member of the congregation, representing the crowd, she was supposed to shout, "Let him be crucified!" But after the service she told me, with considerable energy, "I just couldn't do it! I just couldn't say such an awful thing."



Peace Forever,
