How can he distinguish between what is true or false in it.I also don't understand that he would title one of his Books "A new Christianity for a new World:..." Anything that is new is different.Christianity ceases to be when it is different, just like any other Worldview that would be new.A Religion can only be restored in order to recover it,it can not be transformed without being destroyed.Like I said the Bishop should just come to gripps with abandoning all those Christian trappings as he has abandoned its teachings and theology and not try to do the impossible to create a "new Christianity".

Don't slack up for a moment. true to your style Bishop, you are a bit over the top. But dead on target. Don’t slack up for a moment.
