Says Siegel, who is coordinating the p.r. drive with Schlesinger's press aide Jim Bishop: "We cannot really act in terms of legislation until the people are convinced that there is a crisis.

He became famous, however, through his 1963 bestseller, Honest to God, which set teacups rattling in many a rectory. Like America's Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike, he scandalized the pious by belittling "our images of God as a Being 'up there.' " His book also advocated what was called "the New Morality," rejecting absolute rules of right and wrong. After he resigned as Bishop of Woolwich and returned to Cambridge...
