The leadership in an Old Order Amish community requires shunning friends and family whose only offense is to embrace the new Protestant practice of Sunday school among the Mennonites, but teaching Bible stories to children is one of Clara Kuhns great joys.

When the lot falls to Moses Beachy to become the new bishop, the community waits for him to take bold steps toward change.
