This week's show is with a guest who makes his third visit....Bishop John Shelby Spong. I always find him insightful, inspiring and he will challenge you to think. I love people like that! Spong, whose books have sold more than a million copies, was bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark for 24 years before his retirement in 2001.
This visionary leader is considered the champion on an inclusive faith by many, both inside and outside the church. Spong has also been a strong proponet of feminism, gay rights, and equality within both the church and society at large. Towards these ends, he calls for a New Reformation, in which many of Christianity's basic doctrines should be reformulated.
A visiting lecturer at Harvard and at universities and churches worldwide, Bishop Spong delivers more than 200 public lectures each year to standing-room-only crowds.
Thanks for visiting this site...and I hope you'll enjoy the interview. His web address is - http://www.johnshelbyspong.com/
