      threaten to destroy him, his church, and the lives of his congregation

      Some spelling and grammar help…

      After the humongous, planet-destroying, meteor vanishes from the sky, right before impacting Earth, a troubled priest must help his congregation recover, while dealing with the fact, at the moment the destruction of the earth was imminent, he denied God.

      Sounds like a good premise for a touching faith-based film.

      Agreed with DPG, better to focus the logline on the priest’s dramatic point of view.

      After denying the existence of god, when a life-destroying meteor threatens Earth, a priest must rediscover his faith after the threat vanishes and forces him to guide an influx of atheists into his congregation.

      I tried to illustrate the priest’s need’s causal connections to the events around him, as essentially the inciting incident is internal and while significant for a priest it still needs to be dramatized in it’s descriptions.

      After earth is miraculously saved from a life-destroying meteor, a priest must confront his failure of faith, that when all seemed lost, he denied the existence of God.

      My version deletes??his having to help his congregation recover because?I do?not see how they would need to?’recover’ from being saved, from having their prayers answered. On the contrary, they would be?relieved,?exultant, their faith strengthened.

      It seems to me it’s the priest who is in need of recovery–from his lack of faith.

      And that?seems to me to be?a subjective dramatic problem:? how does that?work out in terms of an objective goal?

      One?dramatic problem??I can imagine is that while?riddled with guilt and shame about his own failure of faith, he’s besieged ?with? atheists and agnostics (like me!) wanting his counsel and support as they are eager, desperate, to affirm?their own faith in God.

      fwiw
