Matthew Archbold: Letter to an Early Doomed Christian

"Rome
Circa 66 AD

"Dear Christian Recruit,

"Thank you so much for your interest in joining the Church. Your letter was forwarded to me by the former head of the evangelization and recruiting department. Unfortunately, he met a similarly grisly fate as his predecessor. They were both beheaded and stoned (though not in that order ;)

"You asked about the benefits of being a Christian; well things have been a bit dodgy for this young Church. I’m sure that in the future things will get a lot better for Christians throughout the world but for now…"

Thus, from a first-person perspective, begins a reflective essay by Matthew Archbold on what it may have been like for some of the early Christians.
