i must make one more remark about john shelby spong's largely impenetrable remarks. the 'd.phil' he was so confused about means 'doctor of philosophy' (kind of like ph.d!). it is actually the highest research degree offered by oxford. not exactly the 'equivalent of a masters degree in the united states', even from one of his really really ridiculously good-looking academic institutions.
