Summary: Churches Appeal (Press, 27 October 1984)
On 27 October 1984, the Christian Churches' Committee on Broadcasting in New Zealand formally appealed to Television New Zealand (TVNZ) to air an additional programme to provide balance to the three-part series "Jesus: the Evidence." This series explores various controversial perspectives on the life of Jesus Christ, including a suggestion that he may have had homosexual tendencies, which has sparked criticism among viewers and religious groups. Despite the backlash, the Churches' Committee argued that such criticism was excessive and called for a more nuanced discussion. The appeal emphasises the importance of offering diverse viewpoints in broadcasting, especially on topics of significant cultural and religious import.
