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 our sharing of bread and wine in Jesus' name to be a
representation of an ancient vision 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
(including but not limited to):
believers and agnostics,
conventional Christians and questioning skeptics,
women and men,
those of all sexual orientations and gender identities,
those of all races and cultures, and
those of all classes and abilities,
those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope;
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 understanding than we do in dogmatic
certainty – more value in questioning than in absolutes;
7. See ourselves as a spiritual community in which we discover the resources
required for our work in the world: striving for justice and peace among all
people; bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers;
8. Recognize that our faith entails costly discipleship, renunciation of privilege,
and conscientious resistance to evil – as has always been the tradition of
the church.
