Produced by Meredith Ricker, John Hamm and David Widger
"The Damnation of Theron Ware" by Harold Frederic is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the experiences of Theron Ware, a young Methodist minister, as he faces expectations and disappointments within the church and the broader community after he is appointed to a new congregation in a small town called Octavius. At the start of the novel, Theron and his wife, Alice, arrive at the annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, where they hope to be appointed to a more prestigious position. However, to their dismay, they learn that they will be sent to Octavius, a location deemed undesirable by the local congregation, who had been eagerly anticipating a celebrated preacher. The opening portion of the book paints a vivid picture of the tense atmosphere during the appointment announcements, highlighting the aspirations and anxieties of the attending ministers. As Theron grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the weight of expectations, we get our first glimpse into the challenges that will shape his journey as he seeks to navigate his faith, social status, and marital dynamics in this new and hostile environment.
