Desmond Tutu is worth seeking out as well. It's not so easy to find his work online, as he tends to write books instead. He's not very tech savvy! Here's a couple of short pieces of his that make good reading though:

He's quite old now, and can be quite old fashioned in some ways, but in others he's strikingly liberal, and refreshingly pro-all-faiths, despite being a Christian bishop. He's pro-gay, too. It was lovely to hear him speaking along those lines on TV a few years back. Makes such a change from those who use their faith as an excuse to hate. He's another one who warns against literal interpretation of the Bible as well.
