Cupitt fronted a TV series called Sea Of Faith, which caused quite a splash at the time. It documented how key 19th and 20th century figures- Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud, Jung et al- had contributed to the erosion of what Cupitt called the "realist" version of Christianity.
He was the inspiration for a (slightly hush-hush) organization for "unbelieving" clergymen. I spoke once (about Krishnamurti- then an enthusiasm of mine) at one of their "Sea of Faith" conferences.
These days Cupitt, like Spong, no longer makes the news. The theological debate (so far as I can see) has regressed and is all about whether God likes gays or not.
