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 articles as:
— “Throwing Down the Philosophical Gauntlet: Job, the Holocaust, and Personal Responsibility.
— “May God spare me living in a Christian nation…”
— “A Progressive Church: Beyond Evangelical and Liberal Boundaries”
— “Sexuality: Beyond Stereotypes”
Also found on the website are discussions on reincarnation, Buddhism, sacramental sex, and more. To check out these articles please head on over to: St. Matthews Progressive Christian Publications.
They also have uploaded several interesting videos, including why God is irrational and expects us to be to, which can be found at: St. Matthews Progressive Christian Videos. Overall the St. Matthews’ site is expertly done and is a worthy model for other Progressive Christian churches to emulate.
