Documentary series following students at Queen's College, Birmingham, as they prepare for a life in the Church.

On his first day as a minister, former printer and shop steward Jeff Reynolds finds he has been given a funeral to conduct.

Meanwhile, ex-singer Lucy Winkett, hoping for an inner-city posting after the completion of her training, gets some first-hand experience of the community in the Handsworth area of Birmingham.
