Silence opens with turmoil for the Christians in 16th Century Japan. Persecution and torture runs rampant, but those of the faith hold strong. The priests who hear of their brothers and sisters suffering for their faith run to their aid with no hesitation, an example many here in the United States could learn from. Even through disease and storms and lost vessels, the priests made it to their destination, and must now hide from the eyes of the Japanese government, to avoid execution. A rough start, to be sure, and I can hope that things get better from here. However, I suspect there is more troubles laying in wait for the brave priests.
