Your donations enable us to create and share theologically progressive resources that nurture our faith journeys and are used in church communities around the world. If everyone reading this right now gives just $10 we would be able to continue offering these for free.
Progressive Christianity is an open, intelligent and collaborative approach to the Christian tradition and the life and teachings of Jesus that creates a pathway into an authentic and relevant religious experience.
We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that offers thoughtful and practical resources for individuals, families, and communities to explore and affect progressive Christianity, spirituality, community life, social and environmental justice.
We’ve heard you and in our many conversations with our readership, pastors, theologians, scholars, and visionaries, we’ve co-created this outdated version of our 8 Points of Progressive Christianity. Progressive Christianity is inherently always evolving and progressing. Please take these lightly but seriously. They are not dogma, they are simply a starting point to establish conversations and a foundation of values and beliefs that we have observed progressive Christians generally agree on. It’s OK if you don’t agree with all the words or all the parts. You can use these in your faith communities and with family and friends to talk about what it means to be a progressive Christian in today’s world. Please share widely and continue to share your thoughts with us! New posters to hang in your church are coming up soon! Check back on our website, link in bio. And don’t forget we have thousands of free resources for your personal and communal faith journey. Here’s to always progressing!

Sermon Video: The Price of Defending Whiteness
Rev. Dr. Roger L. Ray, Community Christian Church
Why is race still a thing in America? 150 years after the end of slavery, 50 years after the integration of public schools, a decade after the election of a black president, why is racism still such a powerful influence in our culture. Dying of Whiteness, a new book by Jonathan Metzl (sociology and psychiatry professor at Vanderbilt) documents how those who have the least will cling to a sense of superiority based on having been born white, even when their rejection of the expansion of Medicaid and even the liberalizing of gun laws, is shortening the lives of tens of thousands of mostly white men.

Sermon Video: Our God does not discriminate
by Rev. Dr. Yvette A. Flunder
Dr. Rev. Yvette Flunder, singing and preaching at Canadian Memorial about Numbers 11:24-30, and the radically inclusive love of Jesus.
Bishop Flunder is Founder and Senior Pastor at City of Refuge United Church of Christ in Oakland, CA. She is also Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, a multi-denominational coalition of over 100 primarily African American Christian leaders.
Founded in 2000, the overriding purpose of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries is to support religious teachers and laity in moving towards a theology of radical inclusivity which, by its very nature, requires an equally radical social ministry, reaching to the furthest margins of society to serve all in need without prejudice and discrimination.
Canadian Memorial is going through our own Affirming Ministries process, and we are thrilled to have Bishop Flunder as a teacher and visionary in that process.
