Easter By: H. B. Coates We spent our Good Friday evening much like those first Easter women full of questions, sullen with heartache, and trying to make sense of what had happened. Rev. Henry Bud Caine has celebrated Easter every year surrounded by the traditions of his mothers faith. Now, on this particular Easter, after reflecting on the relationships hes hadand lostover the last 28 years, he puts his Christian heritage on trial by asking the most painful questions he has ever asked. Told in a quartet of voices, Easter is a somber reflection on faith and life. George, Buds younger brother, finds a reflection of his own fractured mind in the splintered America of the 1950s and 1960s. Karl, Buds brother-in-law, finds himself haunted every day by his mothers death when he was eight years old. Andy, Buds childhood friend, tries to find space for himself in his fathers religion. Confused, abandoned, and bullied by the Church, all four men struggle to find an adult faith that answers their needs. As Bud confronts an Easter with a remote God and distant salvation, he searches for hope and resurrection in the life before him. A warm and intimate exploration of religion, America, family, and friends, Easter reminds us that the only life we have is the moment we are in, and embracing such a truth is itself a celebration of life
