The faithful of many traditional denominations have been divided into warring camps. In The Convention, Will Campbell addresses the issues in the form of a parable, the oldest known form of storytelling. And Will Campbell unfolds her plan with vision and humor, evoking more than a few tears along the way. Whatever your religious persuasion, whatever your thoughts on God and on humankind, this story will intrigue you, inform you, and inspire you. |
