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.
Sadly, look no further than the comments for clear examples of #whitefragility and racism guised as #Christianity. We’ve deleted some, but left these as evidence that we must radically resurrect Christianity and dismantle white empiric #churchianity until it dies. Join the movement, keep reading to learn how to become an ally! #blacklivesmatter #exvangelical
Grieving and Ritual
WIth Sobonfu Somé
Grieving is a natural gift of human nature. We are born with a wonderful ability to express our feelings. When we have reached adulthood most of us have had great cause to grieve for lost loved ones, broken dreams, failed careers, and relationship crises. It is generally accepted (science has proven) that repressing emotions can lead to ill health. We know that unexpressed grief will burrow its way deep into the subconscious/psyche, numbing our feelings and disconnecting us from life itself. And yet we, as a culture, fail to support the expression of grief. There are so few places where it is acceptable to express our deepest feelings.
The ancient teachings of the Dagara people as shared through Sobonfu will provide a deeply powerful and safe space to support the release of our anger, fear, guilt, numbness, indifference, frustration and grief about all the losses we have endured in this lifetime.
