...standard: the church does not allow monogamous, same-sex couples to marry. "I feel like my church has slapped me in the face," says Scott Anderson, co-moderator of Presbyterians for Lesbian and Gay Concerns. "This is an action rooted in fear and not in love." Anderson had been pastor of the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Sacramento, California, until members of his congregation, opposed to some of his policies, "outed" him in 1990.

Doug Donaldson, who is selling the videotape of the Moyers shows for educational and home-video markets, says pre-broadcast sales have been "doing gangbusters," with one major exception: traditional religious distributors. Some sense of why may be gleaned from Roberta Hestenes, an academician and Presbyterian pastor and one of Moyers' guests. Although quick to say she "thoroughly enjoyed" her experience on the show, she found the conversations were missing something: "I wondered about the God dimension of the stories." Her panel dwelled on the tales' human characters and on their structure--on everything, in fact, but the Being...
