for the format. Though it is a reading, essentially<br />
a play in terms of stage time, we<br />
needed a dramatic arc. And Holy Scripture,<br />
the Old Testament and the New Testament,<br />
contains a dramatic arc of sorts, beginning<br />

ending, for us Christians, with the sacrifice<br />
of Jesus on the Cross and his resurrection.<br />
This was the storyline we tried to follow.”<br />
