Description

At the bustling crossroads of an unnamed city stands Saint Agatha’s, a church famed for its wealth, soaring choir, and impeccable reputation. When the long‑standing rector succumbs to a sudden flu, the parish is left to its own devices, and a rotating roster of distinguished guest ministers steps in to keep services humming. The congregation, accustomed to grandeur and smooth transitions, watches as the pulpit passes from one eminent clergyman to the next, each bringing a touch of their own flair.

Amid the orderly shuffle, one vestryman—descended from the benefactress who originally funded the church—finds his ideas at odds with the consensus. Though a heavy taxpayer and respected figure, his unconventional opinions occasionally surface, and this time he seeks the rare privilege of overseeing the Sunday “supply.” His request hints at a subtle power play that could ripple through the otherwise harmonious walls of Saint Agatha’s.
