Buddhism and the Bishop of Woolwich

by Sangharakshita

In commenting on John Robinson's (then Bishop of Woolwich) book 'Honest to God', Sangharakshita considers the Bishop's thinking on the issues of God's existence, Christ, and prayer. The Bishop raises problems to which Buddhism, a non-theistic religion, has already found successful solutions.

N.B. Poor original recording.

Talk given in 1965.
