For some this must have seemed a shocking idea for a theologian and Anglican priest to propose. It would seem to threaten the very foundation of Christian religious life." http://www.stephenbatchelor.org/online%20articles/eclectic%20cleric.htm “In 1980 you published a book entitled Taking Leave of God.

He was an Anglican church leader, who found he 'no longer believed in God' too, yet still believed he had benefited from 'mystical insights' gathered during his years of contemplation, and went on to work out his own 'post modern' ( dated word I know ) take on all he'd experienced and seen.
