Religion and Re-enactment

[Robert Vermaat]

As a Christian (well, I have a chi rho on my shield ...) I hate Mithras too. I feel the burning urge to persecute the pagan members of Comitatus. I think we should re-enact that aspect the next time we're at a show :twisted:

At Fectio, we have a natural balance when it comes to religion:
Valerius (me) pretends to be a Christain, while Chariovalda (Andreas) pretends to be a pagan..

Do you take turns persecuting each other? :wink:

:lol: We could, we could.. Most of the time we link up with others and form mobs... 8)

I am of a similar mind when it comes to pagan matters. This is play-acting in a way, performing a religious ceremony would not bother me any more than playing Macbeth would make me feel like a murderer.
(I dunno, are there any serious Method-actors out there that disagree?)
However, I WOULD feel unneasy doing a Christian rite!

I know what you mean. I contemplated becoming a bishop or something but a) I would be needing far better preparation and b) indeed what about doing this without being a priest?

I'm not too concerned about the public (they would, I think, understand it was play-acting), but I need it to be good enough for myself.
Well, now I know Faventianus is bringing a bishop I no longer need to worry about it...
