The Cross and the Gavel

Wayne Jackson is a social action pastor who is leading his members, colleagues, and campus ministry students into being a Sanctuary Movement to bring undocumented political refugees into his church to protest the administration?s decision to not follow the Refugee Act of 1980. They want their day in court to challenge the administration. They believe that administration pressure has been put on Federal Judges to not let them speak in court. For Wayne the Sanctuary Movement becomes conflict between ?the cross and the gavel.? His biggest clergy adversary is Danny Burns, a successful pastor of a church with five thousand members and a school with member-families only. What Wayne considers as his calling has cost him his marriage. He meets Joyce Barton on the beach. She is a single mom, a nurse, and a singer. They begin a romantic journey. TC Woolard, a retired Air Force veteran, owns Fox?s Den and wants her to sing there. He dislikes all ministers.
