Jonas McAnn is a weary pastor with out a congregation, caught in a dead-end insurance job. Granby Presbyterian is a weary congregation with out a pastor, overcome by the chance of finding somebody who actually wants to be always a pastor - not a manager, instructor, or CEO. When Granby's pastoral search committee and Jonas connect through handwritten letters passed backwards and forwards, something sparks between them - something so real and stimulating that even after Jonas and his family move to Granby, he remains the standard practice of writing letters to his congregation. Spanning seven years of his ministry at Granby Presbyterian, Jonas' letters ruminate on everything from fly-fishing to the Nicene Creed. They uncover the earthy spirituality woven in to the joys and sorrows of the people of Granby, the community of the church, and Jonas' own unfolding story. Listeners will discover what it means for a pastor and a church to do the sluggish work of ministry in community - anchored by the common place and buoyed by the life of beliefs that is important, rooted, and true.
