Simon Birch fulfilled the role of mediator by speaking up to authority on issues of justice. I love the scene in the church when he challenges the pastor on "church business". Throughout the movie he was an example of a powerless boy standing up for what was right and pointing others to goodness and to God. (Judith Snyder)
