Set in the turbulent sixties of Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Watts riot, and the Beatles, Dancing with Baptists is the story of Greg Henderson, Jr., a young Air Force surgical tech. When Greg makes a promise to Chap, his dying Black chaplain friend, to get Chap’s book, an unflattering history of Southern Baptists and African Americans, published, all hell breaks loose. Greg returns to Houston, his Baptist roots, and Melinda, his very Baptist high school sweetheart, with the challenge to keep a promise that could cost him everything and critically wound the church of his youth. The dance begins.
