For us Orthodox Christians, this is Holy Week, so I'm spending a lot of time in church this week. At tonight's service, I was struck by this passage from John 12:
"Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in [Jesus], but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."

Some things never change.
