The heretic is the retired bishop of Newark, New Jersey, The Rt. Rev. John Shelby Spong -- a man who has denied virtually every major Christian doctrine.

Saw this come through in todays podcast feed.
This is one I'll make sure to listen to. Sounds like somebody in Australia has some spine.
Here be the link to the corresponding blog entry.
And hows come the Religion topic list doesn't include "heretics" and "apostasy"?

Bless his heart! Why they let Spong speak anywhere but a Starbucks or the Democratic National Convention is beyond me. He is the dictionary illustration of “fruitbat.”

I wonder if Spong has anything to hide?
To: Lee N. Field; sionnsar; lightman; aberaussie
Spong is no heretic. He is an
apostate!!!!And neither Spong nor Aspinall are real bishops!!!!
It amazes and appalls me how many ELCA congregations, including some I once knew, consider Spong and Borg their favorote subjects for adult forums. Even one woman in my own ELCA congregation wants to study Borg and his program for "renewal of Christianity". What a total crock!!!!

Aack! Don’t do it! I have read a little of Borg’s stuff - he leads people away from true faith, not to it.
To: sionnsar
Yet another Episcopal fruitloop.
Apologies in advance.

By contrast, Anglican Primate Phillip Aspinall has invited Bishop Spong, a leader of the church's liberal wing, to deliver two sermons in Brisbane's St John's Cathedral. Sounds like an ignorance is bliss type of thing.

Don’t forget the ELCA has pulpit exchanges with the Episcopalians.
