On this special episode of Faithful Fables, we sit down with writer-director Richard Klassen to explore how a small-town drama about Anabaptist convictions makes faith decisions feel real and challenge the audience to think through some of these things in a realistic way. This play, "For Cross or Country" was in celebration of 500 years of Anabaptist history! The talk moves from history and craft to conscience, pacifism, and the role of the Holy Spirit in creating art that lasts.
• Richard’s path from Passion Play to Candlewick Productions
• Why a village setting grounds big theological ideas
• Anabaptist themes of pacifism, conscience, and state power
