	pomomusings: Progressive Christianity: Vol 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		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.

		Unfortunate as that may be, the progressive Christian community wants you to know that there is an alternative to the rigid, unaccommodating theology espoused by the latter individuals.
		One of the stated objectives of the progressive Christian lobby is to ensure economic justice for all.
		Moreover, long subjugated by the “powerful political machine” of right-wingers, Christians on the left are finally speaking out about what they see as a “clash of competing Christian values.” Yes, that’s right—abortionists, socialists, and sodomites are now in a perceived tug-of-war with fundamentalist conservatives for the heart of Christianity.

		So the storyline that Christians elected Bush to stop abortion and protect marriage from gays has now been replaced by a storyline that Christians care about the poor and the suffering and are as willing to vote for Democrats as they are for Republicans.
		The certainty of so many Christians that their understanding of God’s will is the correct one, and that any who hold different conceptions are substituting their own will for God’s, might erase doubt, but it also erases the need for faith.
		Christians were in the vanguard of the struggles for abolition of slavery, child labor laws, anti-trust laws, women’s suffrage, the Department of Labor, anti-imperialism, civil rights and human rights.

	My Article on Fundamentalism - Soulforce Community Forums
		One of the major problems within Christianity today is the opposition within itself, and particularly between two factions: the fundamentalists and progressives.
		Fundamentalist Christianity formed in the late 19th century after World War I. It was a reaction to emerging evolutionary theory, liberal theology, and Biblical criticism.
		However, Progressive Christianity is dominant among the suburban and middle-class citizens of the world.

		Christians often throw around verses from the Bible to support their particular position on an issue.
		Seeing as most young men have had their heads shaved at some point in time or have had their hair trimmed; I guess most men are as guilty of breaking the law as homosexuals.
		So, Christians are commanded by the Bible to kill people with weekend jobs, homosexuals and those who practice Wicca.

		In the eyes of the progressive clergy, the years from 1914 to 1918 presented an unprecedented opportunity to achieve their vision of a world transformed--the ancient dream of a universal and everlasting kingdom of peace, justice, and righteousness.
		Vividly narrating how the progressive clergy played a surprising role in molding the public consensus in favor of total war, Gamble engages the broader question of religion's role in shaping the modern American mind and the development, at the deepest levels, of the logic of messianic interventionism both at home and abroad.
		Gamble shows how the progressive, mainstream Protestant clergy in the late 19th Century and especially the first decade of the 20th Century provided the images and the language indispensable to waging the destruction that is war.

	Progressive Christianity Strategy Report
		This group now wants to be known as “Progressive Christians” rather than “liberals.” I guess they feel this circumvents the political connotations of “liberal” and enables them to define their movement in a new way.
		The new organizational umbrella for the Progressive Christianity movement is “The Church Within a Church Movement.” They see themselves creating a new church based on this Progressive Christianity worldview that can grow within the mainline denominations before separating from them.
		I believe this means they see their progressive theological approach as more important than denominational distinctives.

	Introduction, Christianity and Shamanism.
		At the top of the progressive scale was either absolute-monotheism or atheism depending on the proclivity of the theorist (and it was often the latter).
		The latter sort is criticized explicitly in Chapters 2, 5 and 7, and implicitly in Chapters 3 and 4, of these proceedings and is addressed pointedly in the Resolutions Adopted by the Consultation.
		Christianity and shamanism are not set in categorical opposition by any of the authors of these chapters.

	Liberal Christians Going Head-to-Head with Conservative Christians -- 11/30/2006
		The Institute for Progressive Christianity -- a new group -- accused Dobson of making "highly inaccurate statements" and "crackpot assertions" during his conversation with Larry King.
		Until now, conservative Christian leaders have been largely ignored by liberal groups and the mainstream media, except in cases where their controversial statements are held up for condemnation and ridicule.
		The Institute for Progressive Christianity describes itself as a "think tank comprising mainstream liberal Christians." On Wednesday, it took exception to Dobson's remarks that liberals "are often those who have no value system" and who embrace "moral relativism."

	Faith groups within Christianity
		In its earliest years, the Christian religion was divided into three main main religious movements: the Gnostics, Jewish Christians, and Pauline Christians.
		Like in the area of politics, Christians and Christian groups can be divided into conservative and liberal wings, according to their belief systems.
		Their teaching on abortion access, origins of the earth and the rest of the universe, equal rights for gays and lesbians, and same-sex marriage, are four indicators of their location on the liberal- conservative continuum.
