In this second episode, Los Angeles is growing up in the early 1900s. The 115th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America is held here, a new union with the Cumberland Church is formed, and important outreaches to immigrants are taking place. But in the midst of World War 2, a Japanese congregation is torn apart and will never be the same again. We also see why Occidental College parted ways with the Presbyterians and we spotlight one of the greatest Sunday School teachers of all time, Henrietta Mears.
