bob said...: Spong referred to pike as a prophet. He got one thing right after all. It’s amusing to see the long faced comments by episcopalians commenting on Spong’s death. Speaking of his rest with the saints, funeral plans. They don’t seem even now to have ever read his drivel! He didn’t believe in God at all! He did have one good effect. Fr Peter Gilquist used to say that between bishop Spong and bishop Babs (Barbara Harris) the Orthodox Church had attracted many converts.; 9/15/2021 10:30 AM
