“Before Barry Morphew was charged with horrible crimes, I had a surreal encounter with him and the woman he is accused of murdering,” Jason Morphew writes.
. He is out of jail on bond, and goes to trial later this year.
My abiding admiration for Barry prevented me from anticipating what followed. After showing us around his spread, Barry, Suzanne, Lauren, and I sat in Barry’s living room, chatting. Suzanne was kind and warm. Then, as Lauren and I started to say our goodbyes, Barry turned to his wife and said, “Would you share your testimony?”
Then I remembered the arrogance of “witnessing,” the lie an evangelical has to tell himself in order to believe that the person he seeks to “save” has not heard the Jesus pitch a thousand times. I recalled the centuries-old fantasy some evangelicals indulge, where they are noble missionaries educating ignorant savages about the only thing that matters. I suspect that in Barry’s eyes I had become ignorant because of a liberal, bi-coastal education.
