	Liberal Christianity - Psychology Central (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Disagreements between conservative and liberal Christians arise most frequently when the latter perceive that the former are exhibiting a lack of compassion, mercy, love and inclusiveness, and when the former perceive the latter to be abandoning essential Christian doctrines.
		Christian Progressives were among the first to advocate equal treatment of Jews and Catholics from within the Protestant establishment, basing their understanding of human rights on a faith in the worth of other human beings derived from the gospel.
		Although Fundamentalist Christianity has been rejected by the mainline churches, liberalism's dominance was waning by the late 20th century with the rise of the more moderate alternatives, such as Neo-orthodoxy, Paleo-orthodoxy and Postmodern Christianity, and more conservative movements such as Neo-evangelicalism and the Confessing movement.

		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.
		Christian doctrines should not be understood as universalistic propositions or as interpretations of a universal religious experience.
		Christianity is most redemptive as a force in the world when Christian churches focus their energies on building formative Christian communities that are rooted in the idioms and practices of biblical faith.

	Rockridge Institute - Two Models of Christianity
		Conservative Christians are not conservative because they interpret the Bible-all of it-purely literally.
		The link in conservative Christianity between laissez-faire free-market capitalism and morality is thus metaphorical through and through, as is the interpretation of the Bible via Strict Father morality, and Strict Father morality itself is metaphorical through and through.
		To say this is not to "deconstruct" and question the validity of Strict Father morality and conservative Christianity, it is merely to apply an analysis of the concepts involved to enterprises of Biblical interpretation.

	Why Are Conservative Churches Growing?
		Nevertheless, the main thrust of her argument is that conservative churches draw strength from the very strictness of their beliefs and practices, whereas more liberal groups dissipate through lowered rates of involvement and diminished truth claims.
		Conservative churches have few free-riders because the high levels of conviction and counter-cultural moral standards raise the cost of membership above what free-riders are willing to pay.
		Writing to the Philippian Christians, Paul asserted, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." That, more than anything else, explains why churches that believe and teach the Gospel are growing, and why those who have abandoned the Gospel are dying.

		That is why their criticisms of Christianity never seem to go very far with Western Man. He may not be strongly wedded to the Church these days, but Western Man is sensibly leery of the Nietzsche-anism the right-wing critics offer in its place.
		These conservative Christians do not offer much, however, for the right-wing critics who are concerned about the survival of the Western nation-state.
		Conservative Christians in the US have gotten very much out of balance on the issue, to the point of denying any sort of particuarism.

	Encounter: 8 February 2004 - The Right Thing
		For example, most Christian conservatives — which is the term I would use — tend to support a more active public presence of religion (by which they mean Christianity, and Protestant Christianity in particular) in American public life.
		And so “Christian right” is a little dated, in that it used to mean simply fundamentalist Protestants who had heretofore not been involved in politics, but then had become involved in politics in the late 70s and early 80s.
		And for millions of evangelical Christians, they would give testimony to the same thing: that Jesus is the most important influence in their lives, because he changed their lives.

		Hardly: Shiflett shows that conservative Christians are better educated, wealthier, and wiser to the ways of the world than anyone in the media establishment gives them credit for.
		He even reveals that many of those who are currently flocking to conservative churches aren't fully conservative themselves: some even don't agree with all of their new churches' teachings on conservative hot-button issues like abortion and divorce.
		But Shiflett demonstrates that whether conservative or more left-of-center, the new members of conservative churches have one thing in common: they're tired of being told by their religious leaders that anything goes.

	THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION
		There are probably thousands of different definitions of the word "Christian." We have chosen the same inclusive definition as is used by public opinion pollsters and government census offices: A "Christian" includes any group or individual who seriously, devoutly, prayerfully describes themselves as Christian.
		Many Christians are aware of their own denomination's current beliefs, but are unfamiliar with the history of those beliefs, or of the teachings of other denominations.
		Christians will become a minority in in Canada about 2023 and in the U.S. about the year 2042.

	TV vs. Conservative Christianity
		Although many Christians don't go as far as Rev. Wildman, the basic fear is that people (young people, in particular) are apt to adopt the values depicted on TV and will feel that TV's depiction of life and human relationships is realistic and exemplary.
		I quickly reminded him that at one time it was religious heresy to believe that the world was flat and not the center of the universe, or that the tens-of-thousands of "witches" who were burned alive at the stake were, at worst, just mentally ill and not possessed by the devil.
		Not totally unrelated is the fact that, historically, Christianity, like most religions, seems to have flourished under decades of testing and even opposition, and it has been most prone to excesses when government supported it.

	Political Discussion; Conservative Christianity? - TheologyWeb Campus
		To me, keeping a strongly conservative view of things seems anti-Christian in the sense that one would not be willing to establish his or her's own nation as a government devoted to helping its poorer citizens and solving other problems.
		Christianity is centered around the role of how Jesus satisfies the role of being a messiah, but so are his teachings.
		Seeing as Christians must take their religion as a huge part of self-identity, it would make more sense to me that Christians are inclined for a more active political role in the face of poverty.

	R u Liberal or Conservative?
		I'm politically conservative, but probably considered to be a liberal christian----liberal in the sense that i am not legalistic as so many conservative christians seem to be.
		My only beef is with Christians of that ilk for telling me that the way I believe in Jesus's teachings is not good enough, that I have to live my Christian life in the manner that they do.
		Conservatives may insist on perhaps a literal interpretation that churches absolutely must be governed by an 'elder'and 'deacon' system (as this is the one described in the NT); they could also be likely to be more dogmatic in the way they communicate; They may be more rules-based in outlook.
