A new group for folks north of Seattle interested in meeting up to share ideas and inspirations.
Progressive Christianity is the name given to a movement within contemporary Protestant Christianity characterized by willingness to question tradition, acceptance of human diversity (including the affirmation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people), strong emphasis on social justice or care for the poor and the oppressed, and environmental stewardship of the Earth.
The characteristics of Progressive Christians can be summarized as:
-A spiritual vitality and expressiveness, including participatory, arts-infused, and lively worship
-Intellectual integrity including a willingness to question
-Affirming human diversity
-Affirming the Christian faith with a simultaneous sincere respect for other faiths
-Strong ecological concerns and commitments
-Strong commitment to social justice
If these sound good to you, then let's Meet Up!
This Meetup is mainly to get to know each other and see what kind of things the group would like to do. Could be book club, potluck social, music making, political action, social outing, or whatever other ideas come up. As I said in the intro, I have my own ideas about what I'd like to do, but am open to hearing what the rest of the group is interested in. I guess that's the whole point of Meetups, isn't it?
