The disgraced Bishop of Pennsylvania has written an article for a diocesan quarterly publication in which he offers us his views on Christ's death and resurrection. He related it to his two grandchildren, Oliver, 5, and Charlotte, almost 4, as they drove by a cemetery en route for breakfast at a diner.
The dialogue gives insight into what and how much the revisionist bishop believes -- both about the person of Christ, his death on the cross for our sins (Bennison doesn't allow for that), and Jesus' "resurrection" of love, but not his bodily resurrection. It also adds truth to the challenge an Anglo-Catholic priest made to Bennison about what doctrines he could or could not affirm. During his tenure as bishop, Bennison has denied most of the basic tenets of Christianity including the bodily resurrection of Jesus and once wrote that Jesus was a sinner who forgave himself.
