The Rev. David Carter-Rimbach, With Easter approaching, the world's Christians are focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a topic more popular than ever because of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Despite criticisms that The Passion is anti-Semitic and too violent, the film has not turned away local moviegoers with its graphic depiction of Christ's final hours on earth. Instead, many say, it has strengthened their faith and curiosity about religion. These Christians say they are approaching Holy Week with a new perspective this year.
