ynopsis

The series focused on David Randolph (David Ramsey), a young acting pastor designated to South Central's African American Church of Life. Initially, the majority of the church's members balk at the young pastor's new position and resent him replacing their former pastor. With the help of the church's secretary, Vera Hudson (Rose Jackson Moye), Randolph attempts to reunite the church and help his congregation.cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1997/aug/25/entertainment/ca-25696|title=A Wobbly Start, That’s for Sure|last=Rosenberg|first=Howard |date=1997-08-25|publisher=articles.latimes.com|accessdate=2008-07-30] [cite news|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990DEFD7113EF936A1575BC0A961958260|title= Television in Review|last=James|first=Caryn|date=1997-08-25|publisher="New York Times"|accessdate=2008-07-30]
