Passion play change shields Jews in Oberammergau
The Oberammergau passion play will use a new 1750 script by Benedictine monk Ferdinand Rosner for the 1980 production, shifting blame for Jesus death from Jews to universal human sin. Bible scholars say the move corrects a long criticized anti Jewish element and should set a truer pattern for passion plays.

Kansas lawmakers weigh aid to nonpublic schools and transport
Kansas legislators consider three measures affecting church state relations and aid to nonpublic schools. A bill would allow St John’s School students in Lawrence to ride a district bus past their homes. Another would require districts to provide auxiliary services to nonpublic schools, with state aid possible, while remaining tied to a Supreme Court doctrine. Public officials fear rising costs and church state entanglements, though supporters cite parental tax contributions and potential public-school efficiency.
