More from #FredClark, a.k.a. #Slacktivist (this one dates from 2021):

Quote(s):
"George Marsden, contending with the difficulty of defining a perpetually contended category like 'evangelical,' once joked that an #Evangelical is anyone who likes Billy Graham. In the current usage, [...] #ProgressiveChristian refers to anyone who does *not* like Franklin Graham."

New Video on my Keith's Universe channel. I finally address why I am no longer an atheist and now identify as a #ProgressiveChristian

Finally able to share two recent sermons one on Jesus' baptism and the other on the transfiguration. https://dvyost.wordpress.com/2023/03/07/two-recent-sermons/

Hey friends! This is LOVEboldly's first post on Mastodon! We're a nonprofit working to create and develop more spaces where LGBTQIA+ people can flourish in Christianity. #progressivechristian #christian #queerchristian

Up a little early because it's the monthly Discovery Lunch at church, after service. I made chicken fajita and cheese stuffed jalapenos that should be coming out of the oven soon. I love being part of church that eats together.

If you're so inclined our program for getting clothes to trans kids could use binders. Hit me up with a DM if you're interested or check out what we do here: https://www.fcckaty.com/transparentcloset/

I am proud to be part of a true inclusive and affirming church.

But in this case, with the #HeGetsUs campaign, the message of these ads is inclusion and welcoming outsiders. That is a very #ProgressiveChristian message. They're already on our doorstep-- we just need to invite them inside and show them around.

I do think if this group were presented with the fact that they are financially supporting the very opposite of their message, they would have to reconsider their support.

"A man cannot serve two masters," after all. They will need to pick one.

And if they pick the wrong one, at least they would need to do so publically. Pressing them to take a financial stand on this hate group would also mean they would have to make a statement one way or the other on the sincerity of their message of "welcoming outsiders."

It's Grammy season, which means Contemporary (?) Christian artist John Cooper has emerged from his cave to yell about how satanic the music industry is again, because sex and spectacle and whatnot.

In honor of this now-annual tradition, I present you with this playlist of songs this man sang with his whole chest, which are definitely about Jesus and Nothing Else ™️

The religious groups are now attached in the A.I. to the racists. "Liking" even the most innocent Christian-themed post or watching such videos changes my recommendations to see lots more far-right material.

One of those times, my brother sent me a comparitively innocent video of a preacher's sermon. Soon after, I started getting #altright nonsense like crazy in my social media feed ( #Facebook and #YouTube), including some really wacky DT-worshipping #Qanon crap.

#Evangelical parents, happy that their kids are watching "Christian" music videos, are probably shoving those kids down the nastier of the rabbit holes.

It's dangerous to be a #ProgressiveChristian parent these days, I would think.

Progressive policies are biblical. Queer love is holy love. Jesus was a refugee and a convicted blasphemer. The people of God killed him for it. Progressive Christianity is for everyone. Love you all #progressivechristian

The name "National Prayer Breakfast" sounds innocuous, but the group behind it is a far-right #ChristianNationalist organization. More and more people in the federal government are declining to lend their legitimacy, but there's still a long way to go. https://tyt.com/reports/2E4lb3zIDV37rdUAwsh1zn/1ce44fdb68db8aed5

We got stuck in New Jersey for an extra day, so of course my dad decided this was the #ChristmasEve to watch Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Jesus movie. #FamilyChristmas #ExEvangelical #ProgressiveChristian #FaithfullyLGBTQ

The days between #Yule #wintersolstice and #Christmas always feel significant to me. I’ve been a spiritual seeker most of my adult life and I spent a few years as a #progressivechristian followed by a few years as a #pagan. Both experiences impacted me positively and I find myself reflecting on the stories and imagery associated with both. Some days I feel like I don’t have a #spiritual home but in this season I am reminded that home is wherever I feel safe and warm.

@alaskabookworm And I’d have been hesitant to answer on the bird site. This might’ve been better as a DM, but I’m going to try to answer here. (It’ll probably be too long, but we can discuss further in a DM if you’d like.)

What does #ProgressiveChristian look like for me? I believe as scripture says that God loves the world, not just the ones that meet certain criteria or we deem acceptable. That God’s heart is for the weak, hurting, despairing, poor, sick, oppressed, 1/

@athelas1001 Hi there! I am intrigued by you bio and your hashtag #ProgressiveChristian. What does that look like for you? How/where do you worship? What writers/thinkers have you found to be meaningful & thoughtful? I ask because I stopped attending church a decade ago because of too much small-mindedness. My faith is the barest ember these days. For myself, Anne Lamott has been a go-to. Who else is out there?
