From BoardGameGeek

Keep the Faith is a storytelling game about a religion in transition. Elements of role-playing and board gaming combine to make an experience that is designed to welcome new players and create a story together. During the game, you play cards and narrate short stories to describe how the practices and trappings of the Faith express different (and at times contradictory) beliefs: What does your religious music sound like if it's demonstrating your commitment to welcoming the outsider, as opposed to your desire to wield power? What does your altar look like if it's an altar for keeping secrets as opposed to spreading the word? External pressures and tensions within the Faith will cause your beliefs to shift - and might even drive the Faith to fracture and fall into irrelevance. When the era deck empties, you compare the number of aspect cards on orthodox values versus schismatic values to determine the Faith's outcome. Keep the Faith is an approachable storytelling game about an often-fraught topic, designed to create compelling narratives and spark discussions between players.
