I was an Eiscopalian for over 20 years. Reading about John Spong made me wonder. And then when one Rector said, "The Bible is not the word of God, but a history of man's effort to find God" I wondered more.
At a Bible conference I told this story to Fred Smith and his comment was, "No, the Bible is God's effort to find man".

Finally when my 12 year old son, on the day of his confirmation, came home from the service, and said that most of those kids all dressed in white did not believe anything, I stopped wondering and started making plans to leave. My 12 year old son really started the exodus by stating that he was going to start going to a Bible believing church.

Bishop John Spong said we had to do away with many "icons" such as the ressurection and physical body ascension.

That was almost 20 years ago and the Eiscopal church is still sliging down into meaningless.

I grew up in the Episcopal church, back in the 50s-60s.
It was great and beautiful then...I cry for what they are doing now, and I no longer attend...

Bishop Spong has said a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that such is Episcopalian doctrine.
