International Progressive Christian Network
Centre for Progressive Religious Thought
The Centre for Progressive Religious Thought was founded in July 2002 in Canberra, Australia, with a further Chapter established in Sydney in 2004. Each Centre is open to any and to all who wish to explore a more progressive and open theology, in a safe environment. They stand in deep contrast to a general tendency which often requires a theology be built on what should be believed. As such, folk who will find comfort in each of the Centres will be those who either (i) remain in the institutional church but find their progressive theology not reflected in much of the local church's thinking, or (ii) have already stepped outside the institution and are 'exiles' or members of the 'church alumni association' yet looking for a friendly and safe environment in which to share discussions and push boundaries. On this site you will find information on various events being staged, some articles from our presenters, listings of resources you might like to check out further, as well as For Sale resources. You will also find links to several other 'progressive' Centres, who with CPRT, form an informal progressive religious network in Australia and New Zealand. It is our hope that both the Chapters, will become fertile soil in the rebirthing of a new awareness of and thinking on, the sacred in today's post-modern society. So welcome to an exciting journey. You are not alone! Rex A E Hunt, National Director...

Progressive Christianity Network, Britian--www.pcnbritain.org.uk
The Progressive Christianity Network Britain (A Registered Charity No 1102164) works to promote and support open and contemporary Christian understanding. We provide a network of local groups across the country, publish a radical quarterly newsletter, and organise regular conferences and events.

We value the Eight Points first formulated by the Center for Progressive Christianity in America and adapted for the UK by PCN Britain, not as a creed or a statement of faith, but as an expression of how we live as Christians. ...

Christian Council for Monetary Justice
The ecumenical theologian Jurgen Moltmann responded to CCMJ with these telling words: "The neglect of economics is a wound in the side of the church." The topic of economics is exceedingly difficult to talk about in the First World churches, more taboo than politics or even sex. Yet no aspect of our individual and corporate lives is more crucial in determining human welfare. And few subjects are more frequently addressed in our scriptures. Burdens of debt at personal, corporate, national and international levels and the disregard of biblical teaching on usury are conspiring to create immense social disease. ...

LiberalEvangelical.org
LiberalEvangelical.org aims to empower Christians who see themselves as radical moderates and to offer resources to Christian congregations who intend to be both Christ-centered and creatively inclusive. These Christians and congregations have both liberal and evangelical instincts, they find polarized political and relgiious debates alienating, and they are inspired by Jesus' own example of radical inclusiveness and by his preaching of a love that transcends ideological and theological divisions. Who are we? We are people who answer to the liberal-evangelical description. We furnish on this site the kinds of resources that we ourselves find helpful and think are lacking elsewhere. We are egg-head intellectuals who have written on this topic and conduct research to deepen our knowledge of liberal-evangelical Christians and congregations. We are also practically minded church people who want to support moderate Christians and congregations. You can read more about us below.

We support access to sex education, family planning and contraception, affordable child care and health care, and adoption services as well as safe, legal, abortion services, regardless of income. We work for public policies that ensure the medical, economic, and educational resources necessary for healthy families and communities that are equipped to nurture children in peace and love. ...
