Publisher's summary

Father Steele Austin moves his little family from Oklahoma to one of the most prestigious congregations in the old South. Some of the more influential members of the congregation immediately find him unworthy to be the rector of Historic First Church (Episcopal). He is determined to open the parish's ministry to those that do not measure up to the unwritten membership standards. Those in power work for his removal. Even the Klu Klux Klan find his ministry a threat to the community norm. Soon the young rector becomes aware of the secrets of sex, power and greed kept by the most pious in the congregation. Readers consistently report that they know someone just like several of the characters that live in Falls City, Georgia. This novel has been described as a real page turner that brings the reader to both laughter and tears - sometimes at the same time. At Historic First Church you will meet a lot of people you already know and a few that you hope never to meet.
