recently, Eternal Life. Bishop Spong will discuss his personal journey
as an Episcopal priest and then bishop, in which he went through several crises
of faith, leading to some radical and healing insights. The titles of his
lectures are "Religious Wounds: The Power of Guilt" and
"Religious Healing: The Power of Wholeness."
