Walter preaches with charisma and passion, and has a true and tender relationship with his wife Cynthia. His fractious relationship with his son Noah is a source of pain to him, but one in which he can’t see his own significant role. He’s not without kindness, but he’s constrained by his own inflexibility, whether that’s manifested in his sense of his position, his duty, and the role of his family, or in his unbending approach to the possibility of mutable religious thinking.
