Liberal Christianity

I would never model my own beliefs on the theology of H. Richard Niebuhr, but he was absolutely spot on in his summing up of liberal Christianity:

"A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross".

Here is a picture of a liberal Christian. The name of this friendly individual is John Shelby Spong (he is a retired Episcopal Bishop). In the interests of communicating his liberal "Christianity" effectively to the modern world, Spong rejects the following elements of the Christian tradition: theism, the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, the biblical miracles, the objective character of the atonement, the resurrection of Christ, and intercessory prayer.

Perhaps we can call Spong's religious package "homeopathic Christianity", because the Christian content has been so diluted that you wonder whether the watery medicine is worth anything at all...
