What is Progressive Christianity?
While there is no one definition, there are some basic characteristics, such as:
- Willingness to question tradition, including traditional understandings of church doctrines and biblical interpretations.
- Respect of intellectual integrity, including the use of the latest in biblical and scientific knowledge and understanding.
- Acceptance and affirmation of human diversity; ministries of inclusiveness and hospitality.
- Strong emphasis on ministries to promote social justice, peace, and care of the environment and all of God’s good creation.
- Centrality of the commandment to “love one another” — a ministry of compassion.
- Outreach to those for whom organized religion has proved ineffectual, irrelevant, or repressive.
- A life of faith is approached as a journey, not a destination.
