The story we have for you this week is about a fight between faith and law. The story of one mans image of the Garden of Eden and another's fight for equal justice under the law for all citizens in his community. This story isn't straightforward, or easy to understand or heartwarming. Its messy and heartbreaking and frustrating. This is the story of the Followers of Christ, a community who believes only in the power of prayer, forgoing modern medicine often with disastrous and avoidable results and one Sheriff's fight to stop them.
