Worthington, a small town expanding due to highway access, is a compilation of Midwest Americana with old-fashioned values and adherence to the local lodge and the comfort of status and neighborly rank. Amity church is also expanding, having just hired Neville Leighton as their new minister. At first all goes well with congregational growth on track. But his new innovations of sensitivity training that invite the expression of hidden feelings more open that customary, make people feel uncomfortable. Soon members are taking sides, the division and dissent running rampant, the issues personal rather than theological. It threatens to tear the church apart. The book ends with Amity Community Church voting to not sign Neville's upcoming contract, in effect firing him, leaving the congregation emotionally wrung-out, looking to heal once again.
