Eight  Points  Of  Progressive  Christianity

By calling ourselves progressive, we mean that we are Christians who…..

1.      Have found an approach to God through the life and teachings of Jesus;

2.      Recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God’s realm, and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as our ways are true for us;

3.      Understand the sharing of bread and wine in Jesus’ name to be a representation of God’s feast for all peoples;

4.      Invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable;

5.      Know that the way we behave toward one another and toward other people is the fullest expression of what we believe;

6.      Find more grace in the search for meaning than in absolute certainty, in the questions than in the answers;

7.      Form ourselves into a spiritual community dedicated to equipping one another, striving for peace and justice among all people; protecting and restoring the integrity of all God’s creation, and bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers; and

8.      Recognize that our faith entails costly discipleship, selfless love, renunciation of privilege, and conscientious resistance to evil – as has always been the tradition of the church.
