If you are non-Christian, it is good to know.
If you are a Christian, it is even more important for you to see
this. It may be a long video, but even the smallest portion has the
wisdom and foresight of the whole.
Burke Lecture: John Shelby SpongUCTV: UC San Diego1 hr 23 min 25
sec - Jan 10, 2005A pre-eminent voice for liberal Christianity,
John Shelby Spong was the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark
for 24 years before his retirement in 2000. His admirers acclaim
his legacy as a teaching bishop who makes contemporary theology
accessible to the ordinary lay person. He is considered a champion
of an inclusive faith by many both inside and outside the Christian
church. His challenges to the church have also made Bishop Spong a
target of hostility, fear, and death threats. In what may come as a
surprise to his critics, his latest book, A New Christianity for a
New World, is a statement of Christian faith and love for the
church. Calling himself "a joyful, passionate, convinced believer
in the reality of God," he seeks not to create a new religion, but
to reform the church he loves.
