He's the epitome of the small town police officer of days gone by. But now Andy Griffith's doing more than entertaining. As Mark Strassman reports, Christians are turning to Mayberry's lawman for religious guidance.

"WHAT LESSON CAN BE LEARNED IN THIS EPISODE?" Barry Lancaster, a paint salesman, leads a CHRISTIAN review of Andy Griffith's Mayberry.

episode
This episode was a parable about the pitfalls of PRIDE.

((NAT SOT))
"HOW DO WE TOOT OUR OWN HORNS SOMETIMES TO IMPRESS OTHERS OR TO IMPRESS THE HEAVENLY FATHER?"

((SOT Susan Bishop - Bible Study Student))
"FOR ME IT'S A SORT OF A RELIEF. CAUSE I WORK A FAST PACE ALL DAY, TO COME AND SLOW DOWN AND RE-FOCUS ON VALUES THAT ARE MORE TRADITIONALLY WHAT YOU KNOW I THINK MY VALUS AND FOR MY FAMILY OUGHT TO BE."
A software engineer in Alabama named Joey Fann developed the Mayberry Bible Study.

classroom discussion, some other state
In thirty-one states now, Christians try to answer the eternal question -- "What Would Andy Do?"

((SOT))
"I DON'T WANT TO SAY HE IS GOD. HE IS THE CONSTANT, HE IS PRETTY LEVEL-HEADED, HE IS ALWAYS WORKING FOR THE GOOD."
((STANDUP)) "BUT MANY THEOLOGIANS ARE NON-BELIEVERS. THEY SAY MAYBERRY MAY BE A STAGE TO SHOW SIMPLE, TIMELESS TRUTHS, BUT DON'T CONFUSE IT FOR A PLACE TO STUDY GOD SERIOUSLY."

((SOT BRELSFORD)
"WELL IT'S NOT BIBLE STUDY PER SE..."
Not when the "Bible" is a Hollywood script.

((SOT PROF. THEODORE BRELSFORD -- EMORY UNIVERSITY THEOLOGIAN)
"IT'S A FUN LOOK AT THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, IN THE CONTEXT OF CHURCH."))
Organizers say these Mayberry reviews during the week help fill the church on Sunday.

((SOT))
"WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WILL START HERE AND THEN GO INTO MORE IN-DEPTH BIBLE-STUDY. SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD FOOTHOLD TO GET PEOPLE INITIALLY IN HERE."
Mayberry now has an afterlife well beyond re-runs on cable-television.
