Progressive Christian vs Conservative Christian
Friday, December 12th, 2008I 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?
