Progressive Christian vs Conservative Christian

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I came across this explanation of the difference between a Conservative Christian and a Progressive Christian at a local church website a couple of days ago.

“You’ve heard the phrase ‘Conservative Christian,’ but what’s a ‘Progressive Christian?’”

    • The life, teachings, and example of Jesus are the core of progressive Christianity.
    • The Bible was not written by God. It was written by people – many of whom were inspired by God’s presence. The Bible is worthy of our deep study, but not unthinking belief.
    • Ultimately, it’s NOT what you believe that makes the difference. It’s how you lead your life. Our members have a wide range of beliefs.”

So, what’s the definition of a conservative Christian?
