Cambridge prof says he knows when Last Supper happened

Cambridge University Professor Colin Humphreys says he knows when The Last Supper happened.
Did the Last Supper happen the Wednesday before the crucifixion? Well, University of Cambridge Professor Colin Humphreys believes there is a case for introducing a "fixed date" for Easter. Using biblical, astronomical and historical information, Humphreys said he has calculated an exact time Jesus shared this meal with his disciples.

Reportedly, Matthew, Mark and Luke all say the Last Supper took place at the start of Passover. Meanwhile, John reported that the Last Supper took place before Passover. However, the truth of when the Last Supper actually took place may well be found in the calendar being used.

Pennsylvania couple facing possible prison term in alleged faith-related death

A Pennsylvania couple could face up to five or 10 years behind bars for a manslaughter charge, and three-and-a-half to seven years on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child after the 2009 death of their almost three-year-old son.

According to published reports, the prosecutor in the case argued that the child's death could have been prevented if the couple had sought medical assistance instead of relying upon their beliefs in faith healing. During the trial, defense attorneys argued that faith played no part in the parents' decision to forgo medical assistance.
