In the THE CHRISTIANS, the pastor of a large and wildly successful church has a startling message for his congregation. After 20 years of growing the membership of his church into the thousands, Pastor Paul does some soul searching and reaches a conclusion that shakes the church's very foundation with a message that challenges one of the basic tenets of his ministry. THE CHRISTIANS, staged as a church service and complete with a choir, is a compelling drama that conveys the deep emotions and consequences of one man's personal revelation.
