Description

The Church of Whosoever: Extra Grace Required follows the intersecting lives of LGBT Christians as they strive to express their faith and cope with the after-effects of their pastor's heart attack. Among the congregants are a single grandmother, evicted from her home and marginalized by her family, wondering what comes next; a lesbian couple struggling to be good foster parents to a young man who's discovering his way; an African-American female impersonator returning to COW after a long absence and finding the love of his life; a dual-gendered man, whose son runs away after finding him dressed in women's clothes, giving these clothes to Goodwill and vowing to play it straight; a nameless chain-smoker lurking in the church's shadows and imagining the worst; and diverse others - whose stories touch upon the challenges faced by LGBT Christians as they strive to embrace and share God's love and reconcile themselves to a world that often doesn't support them - collectively considering how to respond to their long-serving pastor's imminent retirement.
