#820 Christians in the Courtroom
Witnesses place their hand on the Bible before they testify: how would principles from that Bible play out if it were actually opened up and applied? Would prosecutors be arguing for forgiveness? Stephen Bloom , attorney with Irwin & McKnight law firm in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and author of The Believer's Guide to Legal Issues, wonders with host Karen Saupe how empty courtrooms might become.

Inner Compass airs on PBS station WGVU-TV throughout southwest Michigan Sundays at 1 p.m. (pre-empted occasionally for PBS special programming).
