Says Dr. Edward Craig Hobbs of the Episcopal Church Divinity School of the Pacific: "The whole matter of sexual morality is now subject to a different understanding that comes from psychiatry and ultimately from Freud." The Rev. Richard Deam of the First Baptist Church in Brewster, N.Y., says that a course in pastoral psychology taught him that "anger is not always wrong.
