Pictorial sermon
planned for Easter
hristianity
spins on belief
n resurrection
By LORRIE J. QUINNELLY
Herald SUIT Writer
Easter...
h is that time of year when
txmnies are rampant, egg dies line
department store shelves and liule
girls don brightly colored spring
outfits with lacy white tights and
shoes.
Easter...
It is that crucial event in Christ-
ianity upon which all others are
based, the faith in life after death,
the belief in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
Beginning from his earliest
teachings. Christ taught his
followers that there is an eternal
destiny for mankind, that some-
where in the scheme of the
Heavenly Father is the design that
men are ultimately accountable for
their beliefs or lack thereof. He
Uught that right is rewarded and
wrung is punished in the long ran,
a life outside the confines of this
world.
But when he began talking
about his own death and life
beyood the grave. Jesus' disciples
were dumbfounded.
“When the Son of Man comes
in his glory, and all the angels
with him. he will sit an his throne
in heavenly glory,'* Jesus begins in
Matthew 2531. “All the nations
will be gathered before him. and
he will separate the people one
from another as a shepherd sepa-
rates the sheep from the goals..."
It wasn't until after his death
and resurrection that his disciples
understood the true meaning of the
Lord's Supper.
Yet it is this one principle —
this one tenet, the belief in the
resurrection of Jesus and its inevi
lability far all believers — that is
the mainstay of Christianity.
The historical existence of Jesus
Christ remains undebated. Apart
from the resurrection, he likely
would have attracted followers in
much the same manner as Ghandi.
Mohammed, John the Baptist or
the earty prophets.
But the resurrection is the event
that most separates Christianity
from other world religions. It is
the one tenet other religions do not
claim.
Yes, had there been no resume
non, perhaps there would have
been followers of Jesus.
However, it is highly unlikely
that there would have been some-
thing called Christianity.

Actor sticks to family legacy
M Role of Mark
■becomes one-man
production
•
• NEW YORK (AP) — His grand
Ifather was a Methodist lay preacher
'whose emotional embrace of Christ-
ianity alarmed him at times
• His father was a shopkeeper who
tried to unite Christian groups in
England in a practical effort to house
ihe homeless and feed the hungry.
' British actor Alec McCowen holds
no formal religious affiliation, but it is
in keeping with family tradition that
his signature role has become his one
jnan show “Sl Mark’s Gospel.”
; Even 17 years after his first perfor-
mance. the actor who otherwise has “a
normal career" on stage and in films
cudt as Cry Freedom and The Age of
Innocence still finds himself dkawn lo
{he challenge of retelling the gospel
according to Mark.
• “I keep coming back and doing St
Mark. And when I think I’d finished
hrith it, as I did five years ago, never
|beless it comes back into my head.”
McCowen said in an interview at a
Intel a few blocks from the Off Broad-
way theater where he is again perform-
ing his one-man show.
; **I think I have become — there is
po other word far it — a Sl Mark

of the most important and beloved
books in Western culture, a book origi-
nally written with the idea that its
words would most often be spoken,
not read.
But the Bible, particularly the
Gospels, were relatively unexplored
“/ wondered why the so-called
Greatest Story Ever Told was
never told. It seemed to me no
one trusted the words sufficiently
to think they would hold up in
this sort of recital."
— Alec UcCowen, actor
territory for the stage, McCowen
discovered when he was first search-
ing for material far a one-person show.
"I wondered why the so-called
‘Greatest Story Ever Told' was never
told.” McCowen said. “It seemed to
me no one trusted the words sufficient-
ly to think they would hold up in this
sort of recital.”
The Gospel of Mark was actually
his last choice. He first considered and
rejected the other three gospels; John
far being too much a study of Jesus
rather than the story of Jesus, Matthew
because it was more a great sermon
than a great story and Luke because he
fell the style of writing was so beauti-
ful he would be tempted into indulgent
speaking.
What was left was Mark, which
McCowen found made an excellem
vehicle. The gospel spends
more time telling the action, rather
than commenting on iL As the shorten
gospel, it can be told in tiro hours, with
a dramatic break in the middle at the
beginning of chapter nine when Jesus
says. “Truly. I tell you. there are some
standing here who will not taste death
until they see that the kingdom of God
has come with power.”
The end is the dramatic Passion
narrative of the death and resurrection
of Christ.
McCowen spent 16 months learning
an average of three verses a day of the
King James version. It usually look
about two hours, the actor said.
All the attention in the show is an
the gospel. The Spartan set consists of
three chairs and a table. McCowen
dresses simply in stacks and a sweater
McCowen said be is drawn 10 the
humanity of Mart. Jesus' relation
ships with his apostles and the stormy
encounters against the hypocrisies of
the scribes and Pharisees.
In the end, McCowen rolls up his
sleeves as he recites Jesus post
resurrection instructions lo go into all
the world and proclaim the good nears.
"This is what the resurrection is
about.” he said. “U should be about
preaching the gospel 10 every
culture."

Catholic schools
need no Protestants
LANSING. Mich. (AP) — Cathol-
ic schools need not hire Protestant
teachers, the Michigan Court of
Appeals said in ruling that religious
schools are exempt from some anti-
discrimination laws.
The court, in a 3-0 ruling released
earlier this month, said the state has
no compelling interest in prohibiting
religious discrimination by church-
operated schools.
"Imposition of religious discrimi-
nation laws to leaching positions in
religious schools would detrimentally
impact upon the operation of such
schools,” the ruling said
The ruling came in a lawsuit
brought by Judith Porth against the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Kalama-
zoo Porth, a Protestant, had Uught
fourth and fifth grades at Sl Mary's
Parish School in Paw Paw until her
contract was not renewed far the
1991-92 school year because she was
not a Catholic.
Cleric seeks
black voting power
BALTIMORE (AP) — An African
Methodist Episcopal bishop said he
plans to launch a regional black voter
drive to offset the Republican gains
of 1994.
At a recent conference at Bethel
A ME Church, Bishop Frederick C.
James said that his church is launch-
ing an effort to register every black
resident of voting age to overcome
the of ten-narrow majorities by which
the GOP won many districts nation-
wide last year.
"We are told that there was a
mandate to take the country to the
right,” James told attendees at the
opening of a five-day meeting of cler-
gy and religious leaders from 70
congregations of the historically
black denomination.
“But how can we call it a mandate
when only about 38 percent of the
voting-age population took pan?” he
said
