The Question of Rain

William Hoffman

First published 1980
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

A minister doesn't want to organize the group prayer session a number of people in his congregation have asked for, to pray for rain. He thinks it's not suitable. But does he really know better than his congregation and does he have the right to singlehandedly argue against them?

Speculative content: Apparently a genuine miracle.
