They had met and fallen in love in March 1958 at an academy dance, which Barbara Ann attended on crutches because of a foot broken in a skiing accident. By last December they were engaged, looking forward happily and hopefully to Lee Barnwell's graduation, when they could be married. Then their troubles began.

...situation in the first place. The 800,000-odd Southern Baptists who have moved north, he said, have not felt that they were wanted in the churches where they have gone. "They are simple people to whom forms and ceremonies are as strange as a foreign tongue, but they love the Lord. Have you been willing to gather with them in their home or perhaps in a crude storefront building and join with them in singing Bringing in the Sheaves, just because you love them in Christ...
