		Progressive Christianity is a decade-old movement that numbers a few thousand members and several hundred congregations at most.
		The Center seeks to help congregations extend an invitation that reads: "Curious pagans and bored Christians are welcome here."

		Christians should see The Center for Progressive Christianity, not as posing a threat to Christianity itself, but as exposing the basic hatred of biblical truth that drives those on the theological left.

		I tend to use "progressive" more often, but then what is the opposite of that: regressive, backsliding...can't think of a term that doesn't have a negative connotation.
		That's why I think things like the Center for Progressive Christianity are helpful, even though many will have problems with some of their beliefs.
		So, to suggest that Jesus is the penultimate expression of the Christian life can be a little 'out there' for some...and I think that is just where the Center for Progressive Christianity (CPC) chose to start with their discussion.

		Progress always means change, and change is seldom easy, especially when we are dealing with subjective and even sacred issues in our lives.
		A progressive faith is one that is willing to challenge the assumptions and to test the paradigm under which we are operating.

	Jesus As Savior & Progressive Christians - TCPC Message Board
		Christians are called to follow and imitate these radical, transformative, and life-giving ways of Christ (to claim Jesus as Lord of their lives instead of other worldly forces and powers), and to invite others to do the same.
		What Christianity did was to take various ideas from stories associated with Mysteries (e.g., virgin birth, resurrection, etc.) and make them into a theology with Jesus at the center.
		Given what the founders of Christianity were trying to do, it is not surprising that Christianity emerged as a religion that had little in common with the various Jesus movements (Burton Mack has identified 6) that arose immediately after Jesus's death.

		One of the best definitions currently available is the 8 points of progressive Christianity, developed by The Center for Progressive Christianity in the United States.
		A progressive Christian community is generally one revolving around the qualities of love, compassion, social justice, tolerance, acceptance, and valuing diversity.
		Many forms of Christianity lay claim to these values, so perhaps the difference is found in the placement of these these values relative to doctrinal or moral teaching.

	A Progressive Christian: What do Progressive Christians Believe? Common Elements In Three Approaches (Updated) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The public stereotype of Christianity must change; what I value in Christianity is in danger of being lost, as Christianity, as portrayed on television, resurrects the heartless, rule-based purity culture that Jesus himself rejected.
		The difference between the Christian Alliance and the TCPC approach is primarily that the Christian Alliance focuses exclusively, it appears, on the outward manifestations of Christianity and does not seek to define (or limit) the theology that would undergird those beliefs (this should not be surprising given the different purposes of the organizations).
		Labelling yourself as a Progressive Christian is alright, but I believe the problem with labels is they get in the way with connecting to God.

	'Progressive theology' is coming to the fore - 12/19/02
		One of its advocates, Dr. Douglas Ottati of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va., speaks of progressive theology as a conglomeration of theologies: process, liberal, Christian realist, liberationist, feminist, fl, womanist and Minjung, a Korean philosophy that is a radical re-interpretation of Christianity.
		Sausalito, a paid affiliate of the Center for Progressive Christianity and a member of More Light Presbyterians, is currently advertising for a new pastor – "a liberal Christian, open to other spiritual paths and theologies." The church's information form says the candidate for minister should be prepared to introduce the congregation's youth to progressive theology.
		The phrase progressive theology is not new, even though the theology may have evolved – as progressive theology is always evolving.

		In the first chapter he compares this more progressive way of being a Christian, which he calls the emerging paradigm, with the more traditional and classically conservative approach to Christianity, which he calls the earlier paradigm.
		I sometimes wonder if modern Progressive Christians will be looked back on 200 years from now and seen as the pioneers of a new way of being Christian, or if we'll be seen as an entirely new way of being spiritual.
		I'm reminded that the earliest Christians were not Christians at all.

		I consider myself "progressive" strictly and exclusively in the sense of Paul's "Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead" (Philippians 3:13c NET)This is what I call Progressive Christianity, not the miasma with which you have erroneously associated me with.
		Since progressive includes the concept of moving forward and evangelical is based on a belief in the gospels I don't think you can really make that accusation without squeezing awful hard.
		Progressive is one of those codewords, along with "diversity" that now has connotations beyond it's original meaning.
