The Narrow
Pathis a story about a
couple who must face their differences and learn to work
together as they look toward a lifetime of love. Miranda Klassen�s Mennonite church
is big and modern and she loves the mixture of faith,
action, and activity. But in order to follow her dream she
moves across the country to a small town to organize the
75th anniversary celebration of an Old Order
Mennonite church. Ted Wiebe has been assigned to assist and
guide Miranda, feeling good that his church has chosen
another Mennonite. But except for sharing the same basic
faith and denomination, their churches have nothing else in
common. His church embraces old-style roots, so Ted expects
to find someone similar at the airport: a woman who never
wears pants, no body piercing (including pierced ears), no
makeup, and wearing a head covering as a sign of modesty,
someone else who lives in accordance with old-fashioned
values. But the woman who acknowledges him is wearing
unreasonably high and outlandishly expensive shoes, denim
jeans, and makeup, including bright red lipstick. As she
gets off the plane she�s fiddling with an iPod and yapping
on the cell phone. When Miranda enters Ted�s church and
community she feels like she�s been transported back into
Little House On The Prairie. Ted is supposed to help
Miranda fit in, and Miranda is supposed to help his church
reach out into the community. When it�s time to start
planning and organizing for the celebration, then the fun
really begins.
