A look at faith in America and its power to unite or divide, The Christians finds Pastor Paul (Garman) preaching a sermon that will shake the foundation of his congregation's beliefs. Les Waters directs the work, which will include a live, rotating 20-person choir drawing singers from all five boroughs.
