...TIME photographer to take a wide-angle shot of the congregation at worship, lest it show 200 people clustered in a space built for nearly 1,000. And when he preaches these days, admits Marva Dennard, a Bethelite and Lyons supporter, "he's preaching to himself." One vocal critic, the Rev. Calvin Butts, head of New York City's Abyssinian Baptist Church, is incensed: "He has brought spiritual wickedness into high power." Butts and others failed to oust Lyons as convention leader last fall when the allegations began to appear, but they intend to try again in September...

In fact, it is Dudden's distantly-familiar female colleague, Dr. Madison, who makes the connection that both men once lived in Ashdown, the first of several oddities she reveals throughout the story...
...remarkable transformation throughout the course of the story. By the end, she has become more confident and aware--indeed, more fully understanding of her sexual identity, the trauma she has endured and the pain she has inflicted upon others. Similarly, Terry's metamorphosis from the brash, omniscient film critic to a journalist coming to grips with his craft--one who wishes to mold the direction of his career--works because it is so human a change, one to which the reader may very well have access through either personal or shared experience...
