“In his least political and most thoughtful book to date, Dr. Robin Meyers finds the common ground in the world of Jesus and lays out a call to action that unites us under a banner of hope and reconciliation.” ~Erick Ebama.  This is not a call to the church to move to the far left or to try something brand new.

I would like to share a little story. It is a story that has been told before but does not get told often enough. I am not certain that it happened this way but I know that it is true.

In this article, Fred Plumer asks the question: with the dwindling numbers in the churches, is there a future for the church?

Gregory C. Jenks latest book, The Once and Future Bible, offers lessons on making the bible relevant for today’s progressive believers.

Religious leaders should be held accountable when their irrational ideas turn harmful.

I reject the virgin birth, sinless life, divinity, and physical resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.  And that’s just a short list of the traditional Christian doctrines that I don’t buy into. There are a lot of open-minded, …

It is 2011 and gays and lesbians can serve in the military and in the Presbyterian Church USA. My prayer is that my GLBTQ sisters and brothers…will celebrate these victories.

As the Church dwindles within the American psyche and society becomes deeply aware of global responsibility, it is high time the Church change.

Religious and human rights activists are asking U.S. churches to invite Jewish and Muslim clergy to their sanctuaries to read from sacred texts next month in an initiative designed to counter anti-Muslim bigotry.

Harold Camping says that the rapture described in 1 Thessalonias 4 will occur on May 21, 2011, and that God will destroy the entire Universe on October 21, 2011.  Unlike John the Baptist and Jesus, Camping offers no chance for salvation.

Sea Raven juxtaposes recent military events with the Gospel to make an eye-opening point about the cost of retributive justice.
