"Don't let it be forgot / That once there was a spot / For one brief shining moment / That was known as Camelot!"

Gotta love a good musical. Camelot embodies the Christian worldview very symbolically. King Arthur represents Christ, standing for righteousness, ethics, and fidelity in his kingdom of Camelot. Just like Christ, Arthur was chosen as this representative. We are like the little boy at the end - we have received a gift we don't deserve, a knighting into a noble kingdom and the compassion of a fearless, loving leader. This last scene represents the Great Comission, as we are called to go out and make disciples of the world - to keep on the legacy of Christ - the legacy of purity and goodness.
