  • Embracing Change: Finding Everything

    Transformation ought to be an essential part of Christianity, but all too often, it isn't.  ProgressiveChristianity.org Co-Executive Director Rev. Dr. Caleb Lines discusses how we must embrace change to experience true transformation.

  • Anger and the Progressive Christian

    It was the concept of “rebirth” that attracted me to Christianity again, after I had been an agnostic for many years. The realization that much of the symbolism in the New Testament is about the possibility for humane personal change, allowing for more meaningful social engagement, is what brought me to Progressive Christianity.

  • The Simple Gospel of Jesus

    What I have described previously as The Simple Truth is also the simple message of Jesus, and it is a tragedy that what, in essence, is so simple has been made so alien and convoluted that it makes no sense.

The Core Values of Progressive Christianity

By calling ourselves Progressive Christians we mean we are Christians who:

1. Believe that following the way and teachings of Jesus can lead to experiencing sacredness, wholeness, and unity of all life, even as we recognize that the Spirit moves in beneficial ways in many faith traditions.

2. Seek community that is inclusive of all people, honoring differences in theological perspective, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, class, or ability.

3. Strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.

4. Embrace the insights of contemporary science and strive to protect the Earth and ensure its integrity and sustainability.

5. Commit to a path of life-long learning, believing there is more value in questioning than in absolutes.

What is Progressive Christianity?

Progressing Spirit is a leading outlet for an intelligent, inclusive, and pioneering exploration of today’s theological, spiritual, and social advancements.

    Images of God

    Most of us have let go of the God-metaphor from our childhoods -- the old man with a beard who lives in the sky (aka “the Sistine Chapel God”).

Worship Materials: Trinity

Do not let the Christian doctrine of the Trinity alienate you from the oneness of God; for God is both the many and the one.
