Anointed

by Pam Jones

In Anointed, we follow an unnamed journalist who, in a conjoined search for God and a good human interest piece, interviews the perpetrators and victims of an imploded religious community. It is 1969, 1970, 1971, and the Waldensian Community of Jesus Christ has fallen from its status as a progressive alternative to Christian living to a cult engaged in murder, child labor, and tyranny. The narrator, in spite of knowing that many see only what they want to see, wants to believe.
