How to handle exceptions if RequestContext fails?

Say I have the following code:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def render_error(scr_msg, err_msg, context):

    logger.debug(err_msg)

    return render_to_response('error.html', {'message': scr_msg}, context)

...

def some_view():

    try:

       context = RequestContext(request)

        ...

    except Exception as e:

        return render_error('An error occured whilst showing some view.', e.args[0], context)

... then how do I handle the exception without a context?  Should I use the render function instead of render_to_response in the exception handler?
