There is no reason to doubt the official explanation of the new format--that it was fixed upon to avoid the embarrassment of small crowds and the discomfort of speaking into blinding television lights at Sanders Theater. Gardner, a busy man these days at the Urban Coalition, reportedly wanted a time-saving method of giving the lectures and television provided that too.

Harvey Cox laid the blame for such revolts at the door of the church itself. "It may be that the major reason for unbelief is not that people find the Gospel incredible but that they find the church incredible," he said. "The church of the Prince of Peace is unable to take decisive action against war, and the church with the ideal of poverty continues to accumulate real estate...
