Is it any wonder traditional Christianity is dying? In our evolving world, it's hard to relate to the historical Bible-it contains no voices of women, no voices of people of color, and no voices from the last 2,000 years of Christian history.

Carla McClellan and host Dean Ted Collins as they discuss Bishop Spong's November 10–13 workshop at Unity Village.
