                   PRESS RELEASE


                 February 15,1995


The Rev. Bob Bradford of Virginia Beach, VA, a retired Presbyterian
Minister and parent of a gay son, will lead a delegation of community and
Christian leaders to CBN on Thursday, February 16, 1995, at noon. Because
gays and lesbians are being hurt by a religion of hate, a coalition of
Christian, Lesbigay and gay supportive organizations are asking Pat
Robertson to do two things: acknowledge that his anti-gay rhetoric results
in violence against the homosexual community, and denounce those acts of
violence and hate. 

This coalition will continue to return to CBN headquarters daily with the
prayer that hateful rhetoric can be overcome by love.
