I've never read him, so I might be wrong about this, but from everything I've heard, he doesn't believe any of the key Christian beliefs (divinity of Christ, His resurrection, et al). It just seems wrong and dishonest to call oneself a Christian if you don't believe these things. There's also comments he made about African Anglicans having just come out of the jungle.
