Beyond Tribalism and Toward
a God of Love John Shelby Spong’s plenary talk at the 2005 FGC Gathering
Spong rejects fundamentalism in favor of a religion compatible with intellectual inquiry. He rejects Christian “tribalism” in favor of a universalism that sees holiness throughout the world’s religions. He describes a Christianity premised upon justice and love rather than judgment and literal readings of the Bible. This talk was the first annual Elizabeth Watson Lecture, sponsored by Quaker Universalist Fellowship.

Using ancient stories of early Christians and contemporary stories of ordinary radicals, as well as his own experiences in Iraq and India, he challenges us to deeper faithfulness.
