UUCF April 2025

The topic this month is “Progressive Christianity”, defined as

A movement within Christianity that emphasizes social justice, compassion, and inclusive theology, often challenging traditional interpretations of the Bible and religious authority. It’s characterized by a focus on values like love, compassion, justice, and tolerance, and a commitment to political activism and social change.

After reviewing the definition, we will watch a video by Alisa Childers (an American author and singer, known as a member of the all-female Christian music group, ZOEgirl),  titled “How to Spot the Danger Signs of Progressive Christianity in Your Church”.  Next, we will watch a point by point critique “Don’t go Woke?  The Dangers of Progressive Christianity” by Matthew Korpman, a Yale trained Biblical scholar that reacts to her video and asks, “Just what are these devious Jesus followers and why is it she claims they can destroy the power of the Gospel?  Find out this and more insanity in this episode”.

Finally, we will watch a video in which renowned Progressive Christian Scholars discuss “Taking the Bible Seriously.”
