	Apostle Paul - John Shelby Spong
		Paul was the hero of much of this first history of the Christian church, and most people have had their image of Paul created for them primarily by Acts.
		Paul was a Jew born in the province of Cilicia in Asia Minor.
		Paul watching the first Jewish Christians decentralize the Law in favor of grace was not unlike a fundamentalist watching his or her infallible Bible being replaced by an irresistible call into the insecurity of freedom.

	BISHOP SPONG by Paul Richardson
		Bishop Spong is no great thinker but his frequent outbursts do help to shed some light on the crisis facing Anglicanism and on the role of bishops.
		When Bishop Spong speaks of Christian doctrine, he gives no sign of believing that Christianity is a revealed faith and that the scriptures and tradition have authority because they witness to this revelation.
		Paul Richardson is Assistant Bishop in the diocese of Newcastle.

	Profile of a Bishop: John Shelby Spong
		During these years Spong grew ever closer to his teenagers, becoming a mother as well as a father to them, though he recalls that Joan was always sweet and loving to their daughters.
		Paul's is a downtown church, and the thought of coming an hour early struck his parishioners as silly, at least until the project got rolling.
		Spong's hope for the church is that it can learn to tell its old, old story in new ways the modern world can hear.

		Paul was a gay man who attacked homosexuality to keep his own desires in check.
		Kristof comes short of actually agreeing with Spong, but he does say "at least he's engaged in the debate," and encourages liberals to engage conservative Christians on their own turf, on their own terms.
		If Spong is the best they have, I think they're better off with their current strategy of ridicule and ignore.

	Rescuing the Gospel from Bishop Spong - Probe Ministries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Spong argues that "the essence of Christ was confused with the form in which that essence was communicated."{10} All the biblical writers got it wrong.
		Referring to Spong's gospel, Price observes that "for Christianity to change on such a scale, and for it to die, are one and the same thing."{19} It would seem that if Spong is trying to save Christianity for the modern, scientific, rational mind, he has failed.
		Spong lumps all types of conservative Christians together into one straw man, one who happens to believe in a flat earth located at the center of the universe.

		Paul apparently didn't act on his feelings if he was gay, but was tormented by his feelings.
		Paul buffeted his flesh and did all he did to increase the kingdom of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
		But Paul was a Pharisee, and the Pharisees were expected to be married, so it was far more likely than not that Paul was, at least at some point in his life, married.

	GayHeroes.com:Paul the Apostle
		Paul's hostility to sex cannot be entirely attributed to his belief in the imminence of the Second Coming.
		While many gay people's experience of churches has been negative in the extreme, Bishop Spong has been an amazing voice of loving, authoritative common sense, especially on sexual matters such as homosexuality, and biblical themes like the virginity of Mary.
		Paul gave his life for a faith which knows neither Jew nor Greek, slave or freeman, male or female: all are one.

	frontline: a whale of a business: man & marine mammals: the sonic creature
		In 1967 [Paul] Spong was hired by the University of British Columbia to study the sensory system of killer whales at the Vancouver Aquarium.
		It was about then that Spong began to think the whales were conducting experiments on him at the same time as he was on them.
		By the time I met Spong in Alert Bay in 1973, he had become an outspoken advocate for the rights of all whales and was dropping his scientific pursuits to campaign full-time to save them.

		When you read Paul, you assume he was pullign all these ides form his own mind, and that women where treated equelly to men, not required to be veiled, and treated overall well in the surroundign culture, and hten Paul steps in and starts to suppress them out of his personal hatred of them.
		We read the writings of Paul today and veiw his words throuygh modern lences, and see a cheuvanist, but seen through th eyes of the people that where his contemporaries, he was a revolutionary, who advanced the rights o women.
		I merely suggest that Paul revealed to us enough about himself to suggest the probability that he was a castrati, that he had a personal disdain for women and encouraged others to remain apart, abstaining from intimate relations and marriage.

		Finally, Spong refers to "It is good for a man not to touch a woman." He says: "The passion that burned so deeply in Paul did not seem to be related to the desire for union with a woman." Paul speaks of physical passions that easily take over.
		Two verses later Paul speaks of the condition, an eye disorder, (Myopia can cause grotesque deformation in the eye region)that accounts for the "large characters" he had to write with, and clarifies that some would, if possible "pluck out their own eyes" and give them to Paul.
		Paul wasn’t a homosexual; he was a sexual being that passionately wanted to transcend physical being and awaken as a spiritual being.

	Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism-Book Review
		Bishop Spong’s theme is consistent throughout: If we interpret these texts literally, they are in such conflict with what we know of the world that the texts will eventually cease to have any meaning whatsoever.
		Bishop Spong’s main analysis is broken into seven sections, presented in chronological order of their authorship: (1) the five books of history in the Old Testament; (2) the Old Testament Prophets, Psalms and Proverbs, (3) the writings of Paul, and (4 through 7) the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke,and John, in that order.
		By lining these texts up in order of writing, beginning with Paul, Bishop Spong provides a clear, but succinct, presentation of the extensive modifications that were made to the Christ story between the time of Paul and the time that John was written many years later.

		Greenpeace would continue to campaign against testing in the Pacific until the French ceased their testing program in 1995.
		When Paul Spong, a New Zealand neuroscientist hired by the Vancouver Aquarium to study the behaviour of whales in captivity, contacted Robert Hunter, the 'Save the Whales' campaign which resulted took place initially under the banner of Project Ahab, due to Irving Stowe's resistance to broadening Greenpeace's scope beyond opposition to nuclear weapons.
		Stowe's death in 1974 effectively ended this deadlock, and a re-chartered Phyllis Cormack steamed from Vancouver to meet the Soviet whaling fleet off the Californian coast in the spring of 1975.

		This is relevant because the point of this chapter is that, despite their rejection of Jesus, Paul affirms that God’s covenant with the Jewish people is not revoked.
		Paul put it this way in Romans 10:13-15: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
		Therefore, as Paul says in Acts 17:30-31, "God commands all men everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead."
