THE AMEN CORNER January 9 – 26, 2025 After giving a fiery Sunday morning sermon, Harlem pastor Margaret Alexander is confronted by the unexpected arrival of her long-estranged husband, Luke. Luke tells their son David and several elders of the congregation that he had not abandoned his family years ago; it was Margaret who left Luke to pursue a religious life. Margaret, Luke, David, and the congregation clash over the perceived hypocritical nature of Margaret's religious convictions and the breakup of her family.
