The Rev. Robert Schuller, on the road promoting his book, “The Be (Happy) Attitudes,” an examination of positive thinking drawn from Christ’s Beatitudes in 1986. In a 1986 interview with RNS, Dr. Schuller said, “I don’t want to produce Christians who get hung up on what’s a sin and what is not a sin. But I want to deal with the essential subject of the deepest problem that plagues the human person, and that’s sin. Sin in a lack of faith.” Religion News Service file photo
