VILLIFIED clergyman Bishop "Jack" Sprong, famed for headline-making stances on sexuality and theology, is due to make a return visit to Kendal.
Last time outspoken Bishop John Shelby Spong spoke in town, he was met with a barrage of protest.
No stranger to hostility, the controversial cleric has been the subject of death threats and has been called anti-Christ, hypocrite, even the devil incarnate.
Kendal's United Reformed Church is hosting next Saturday's presentation, which is part of the northern launch of the Progressive Christianity Network in Britain.
