The Rt. Rev. John Spong counted Bishop John Hines as one of his closest friends until Hines died. He said the following of his friend:

"No matter how big or complicated his world became, he had the ability to rise to the top. In order, he was president of the student body at his university and his seminary. He was elected Bishop of Texas at age 35 and Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church at age 54. He shaped the life of this church more dramatically than any person in this century (20th). He led us all beyond the limits of our fears into countless new frontiers. He called into being a generation of new leaders who are today in key positions through out the Church. He made us proud to be Christians and Episcopalians and proud that we had chosen to follow our callings into the priesthood."
