Today’s “Ask a Progressive Christian” with ProgressiveChristianity.org Board Member Rev. Sharon Jacob – What are some differences between progressive Christians and other Christians?

Theists in general and Christians in particular often worship a God they call “omnipotent.” This practice creates profound problems.

If Jesus had been asked to summarize the Prophets, as Hillel had done for the Torah, his reply would probably have been something like this: “Wake up, open your eyes and ears, repent, and start treating others with compassion and justice!”

I believe neither that Hades exists nor that anyone would be sent there even if it did. But as a critique of the manner in which wealth neglects the poor, this is pretty powerful.

Following his life in Nazareth that possibly included day trips to Sepphoris looking for work, the next training ground for Jesus was a brief time with this same John the Baptist in the wilderness, hearing again that injustice is not the way of the Lord.

This week we celebrate beginning of summer (Wednesday). Let us remember how generous the universe is. For example, the sun. The entire energy of the earth runs on one billionth (!) of the energy the sun emits every day.

Love is, of course, an answer. And while most people of faith can agree on the command to love our neighbors, we need to face the reality of this moment. What is happening among us — the transnational struggles with democracy and attacks on human rights — is far more than a failure to love our neighbors.

Dr. Brené Brown was at a low point in her life the first time she heard Willie Nelson’s cover of “Amazing Grace.” It was in the early 2000s, a period she has famously referred to as a “breakdown/spiritual awakening.

I have always loved rainbows—
their awe-inspiring beauty,

In this cosmic story’s thread
Humans play a tiny part

At each day’s ending and at death
We all can test our living,

As we welcome Spirit’s presence
We find Spirit comes with fire

As we gaze upon the Cross
We discern a tortured man

As the veil of mystery’s lifted,
When the sacred curtains part,

As the sunlight turns to shadow,
And life loosens its firm hold;

As life approaches ending
What times should we recall?

All things exist in flowing change,
All things are ever moving,

As a tree that reaches up
To embrace the rays of light

Are we followers of Jesus
Or disciples of Saint Paul?

All who claim to follow Jesus
To prophetic roles are called.

All things are bound together now;
Without that basic binding force

All cultures chose to name a God
To fight for them in times of war,

Acid speech breeds violent acts
As does use of hurtful names.
