“There’s no justice here, only the church.” - Uhtred. “It (Justice) comes to those who have faith.” - Mildrith. It can feel like the church of today and yesteryear, uses its power to manipulate situations for control. Why does the church need to have control? To us it seems like fear is driving that need for control. What does the church fear? The Saxons think they can expel their own fear with knowledge, so Alfred manipulates Uhtred and the written word. The Danes use the power of raw fear to manipulate people. We believe fear can be overcome with truth. Truth will lead us to justice. The truth sets us free. How do we find truth? Does the church hold the truth? Can we find truth using logic, science, and God’s Word? Can we have both, Justice and faith?
