The drama between powerful and superficial christianity and people who stood for a spiritual, inner experience of faith is almost 2000 years long. Consequences were always prosecution, torture and the cruelest death. The powerful religious community has claimed authority through state (Roman) and made way for religious dictatorship through the state very early in human history. Individual strength and perseverance of people who witnessed the faith with their lives presented great danger to those who ensured their existence, power, reputation and wealth through faith.
