Everyman - Season 1 (1977)

Vanya Kewley reports from Southern California on the world's largest walk-in, drive-in 'Inspiration Centre', run by the man critics dub the 'Henry Ford of Organised Religion'. Everyman explores the multi-million dollar operation Dr Robert Schuller calls a 'shopping centre for Jesus Christ', and investigates the appeal of Schuller's weekly TV religious spectacular. In the year a devout Baptist became President of the United States, how do Americans rate a minister of religion who uses media technology to preach a gospel of success?

A re-enactment of the Whitehouse v Lemon court case. In 1976, British magazine Gay News publishes a poem, 'The Love That Dares to Speak Its Name', describing Jesus as a practising homosexual, and Christian activist Mary Whitehouse brings a private prosecution for blasphemy against its editor Denis Lemon.
