What is a progressive form of Christianity?

 

“As progressive Christians, we believe that a robust, thought-provoking faith, like a good piece of art, can enhance life and make it savory.”

— David A. Kaden, Christianity in Blue

“The emphasis of progressive Christianity is on this life and on changing this world for the benefit of people now. We believe this world is God’s world—something to be enjoyed, relished, celebrated, and improved in our communities, families, and neighborhoods.”

— David A. Kaden, Christianity in Blue

“We strive to follow the example of Jesus—embracing outsiders, loving neighbors and enemies, and working toward wholeness, justice, and peace.”

— David A. Kaden, Christianity in Blue
