The new online bookstore for spiritual progressives is in association with Amazon.com, and will include fiction, poetry and non-fiction on various subjects. “We are looking to include in our booklist more than just the usual suspects read by Progressive Christians and the SBNR,” says Pastor David, director of The Living Hour. “Spiritual life in the 21st century should encompass everything: science, history, philosophy, pop culture, literature, etc., and (as Gandhi once said)...
Ayatollah Montazeri’s Letter Of Dissent
It is with great hope and interest that Progressive Christians are watching the current political protests in Iran. The recent public address by Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri to the Iranian people was striking in its honesty. In his letter Ayatollah Montazeri slams the regime for its astonishingly violent attempts to purge dissent, and its illegitimate arrests of intellectuals, political opponents, and scientists. Montazeri warns the ruling hierarchy of Iran that a legitimate state must respect all points of view, and should not oppress critical views. He urges the government to take all measures to restore people’s confidence,...
SBNR – Religion Can’t Bind The Spiritual Life
In The Times of India, there is an excellent SBNR article written by Father Dominic Emmanuel, who for decades has been promoting peace, harmony, and inter-religious dialogue. In this new article, Emmanuel explains why we should make a distinction between spirituality and religion: Simply because, as it is said, that the largest numbers of wars in the world have been fought in the name of religion. One continues to witness numerous conflicts resulting in violence in the name of religion. This often confuses people not only about the role of religion but even its need in life. The life and teachings of Jesus show that he, too, made this...
SBNR News: Ian Lawton Launches SBNR.org
In Progressive Christianity news, the website SBNR.org was launched in April in Grand Haven, Michigan. The new organization aims to serve the world-wide population of people that describe themselves as spiritual but not religious (SBNR). It is estimated that in the United States alone over fifty million people are SBNR. The company was founded by Ian Lawton, an independent spiritual teacher and the former Vicar of St. Matthew in the City (Auckland, New Zealand). Today he leads an emerging group of Progressive Christians at Christ Community Church (C3) in West Michigan, which has a sizeable population of church alumni. SBNR.org offers...
The Heritage Christian School & Principal Tim England
John Milton is known to most of us as writer of the epic poem Paradise Lost, but Milton also wrote excellent and thoughtful prose. In some ways, he was a progressive Christian, centuries before Progressive Christianity became a popular term. His work Areopagitica is a classic defense of intellectual freedom—one which had a strong impact on the framers of American Constitution and the ideals they held most sacred. We were reminded of Milton and his Areopagitica on hearing about Tyler Frost. Tyler is the student at the Heritage Christian School in Findlay, Ohio who was suspended by Principal Tim England for deciding to attend his girlfriend’s...
St. Matthews, Auckland: Progressive Articles & Videos
If you are looking for some thoughtful meditations and articles written from a progressive Christian perspective, The Living Hour recommends checking out the website of St. Matthews Church in Auckland, New Zealand. The Church, with a lineage that stretches back to the mid 1850s, wisely points out that it needs a modifier (i.e. progressive) to describe its brand of Christianity because contrary to the human tendency to make sweeping generalizations, being “Christian” does not tell us much about a faith community beyond the probability that Jesus plays a part in its beliefs. On St. Matthews’ Publications page you can find such provocative...
Progressive Christian Resolutions
When Progressive Christians look toward their lineage, few find sympathy with the old Calvinists of 18th century New England. Jonathan Edwards’ sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is one of the last things we equate with the tenants of Progressive Christianity. And yet Jonathan Edwards, like all of us, is a complicated individual. While going off the rails at times (okay, a lot of the time), at other junctures he sets his wheels on a path worth admiring. Edwards was one who believed in laying down resolutions, and following them diligently. The following resolutions are taken from his famous list of 70, and ones which all Progressive...
Support St. Mary’s Brisbane & Fr. Peter Kennedy
The Living Hour fully supports the parishioners of St. Mary’s Brisbane (Australia) and their priest Fr. Peter Kennedy in their dispute with the Roman Catholic Church. In brief, the Bishop wrote to Fr. Kennedy threatening to close down the church if the priest and congregation did not return to a more orthodox version of the faith. This is the second occasion on which the Bishop had chastised Fr. Kennedy and his “errant” parishioners. You can show your support to these Progressive Christians who, like Jesus, are speaking truth to “power” run amuck by becoming a member of their website at: http://www.stmaryssouthbrisbane.com/ What...
Top Progressive-Liberal Christian Websites
The Progressive Christian Alliance: The PCA hopes to provide a venue for those individuals who feel somewhat out-of-step with their home congregations to raise their own voices in a more progressive message; for progressive congregations to join their voices with other progressives across denominational lines without sacrificing their own denominational identity; and for independent churches to form a stronger denominational bond with other like-minded congregations without compromising their identity. The Center for Progressive Christianity: From its inception, the focus of TCPC has been primarily about rethinking and re-conceptualizing...

PCA Encourages Life-Positive World View
The Progressive Christian Alliance has published the following statement challenging all to adopt a “life-positive” worldview toward the issues of poverty, wars, hunger, injustice, and reproductive health: For many decades much of the Christian conversation in the political arena has centered on the issues of abortion and homosexuality. This has limited the ability of the church to engage in social action, political-spiritual discourse, and a deeper exploration of its own spirituality and identity. The PCA affirms, along with the Biblical witness, that life is Sacred and it is of value as the place in which the Divine becomes...
