A Mockingbird Magazine article recounting the Pentecostals of Alexandria's Messiah pageant, staged annually from 1983 to 2004, at its peak requiring 600 volunteers and offering roughly 30,000 tickets a year that typically sold out within three days, and President Clinton's April 8, 2000 attendance, at which he became visibly emotional and remarked that he had feared during the Monica Lewinsky scandal he would not be allowed to complete his second term.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: an edited magazine feature independent of the church and of the White House, used to cross check the pageant's own scale and run dates against the Clinton White House's primary transcript, which does not itself state those production details. Cross-Tradition Connections
