090 Progressive Christianity defined

One website for Progressive Christianity:

• The Bible is Christian sacred scripture and the most important book there is, even though it is neither inerrant nor to be interpreted literally.
• Salvation is primarily about transformation in this life, of ourselves and the world
• The biblical understanding of the human predicament is much richer and more comprehensive the conservative and conventional Christianity – we live in Egypt, in bondage to Pharaoh and need liberation. … We are blind, diseased, wounded, dead in the midst of life, and our need is seeing again, healing, and rebirth.
• Jesus is the centre if Christianity… he reveals God’s character and passion but his purpose was not to pay for our sins.
• Believing does not mean believing statements about God, the Bible and Jesus to be true, even when they seem questionable but is better conveyed in the word “beloving”
• Christianity is about “the way” but this does not mean it is the only and exclusive way – it is also known in other enduring religions. Jesus is the incarnation of a universal way.
