Jesus for the non-religious
John Shelby Spong admits it's strange for a retired Episcopal bishop to write a book called "Jesus for the Non-religious." But Spong says there are many aspects of religion that he deeply dislikes. Speaking recently at the Westminster Town Hall Forum, Spong called for a modern, liberal interpretation of Christianity.12:00 p.m.
