Like I've said, the prelates of my church are no different from me. The Archbishop of York's post is the second highest in the Church of England. The previous Archbishop of York once said that Jesus was not born of the virgin birth. Soon after, lightning struck the York Minster but we aren't superstitious people and so we laughed over it. If you have been to the York Minster, you can see the burnt parts of the church. Later, he declared that Jesus never existed. Now, at least I'm better. I say Jesus existed but he was an apocalyptic zealot who wanted to overthrow the Roman rulers.
So, no, I wouldn't be the first. Greater people of the church say worse things than I.
I don't know why people find this stuff so confusing. You practically sound like a fundie compared to someone like John Shelby Spong. Ok, that's hyperbole, but you know what I mean.
