The Convention by Will D Campbell
Organized religion has taken on an increasingly disorganized, fractured appearance in the last few years. 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.
