Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire is an unassuming man who has taken on a big mission. During the nine years since the Episcopal cleric became mainline Christianity’s first openly gay bishop, the 65-year-old Robinson has steadfastly sought equal rights for LGBT individuals within his church and state, even in the face of death threats. In this absorbing documentary, cameras follow Robinson as he chooses his fights, always advancing his belief in the universality of God’s love. Monday, Oct. 29, at 10 p.m., PBS; check local listings
