"Instead of thinking of God as a noun it is perhaps more useful to think of God as a verb. For God is known through action. To say we need to be the place where God speaks means that we need to be the place where God moves through the world. We have to endeavor to be that place where we embody the life of God instead of merely talking about God." -Peter Rollins


Progressive theology strives to reflect the same kind of compassion seen in the life of Jesus Christ by maintaining dignity for all human beings and working toward reconciliation, social justice and peace among all people.  It is not simply about "getting to heaven," but rather is about making a vital difference in the here and now.  It values sincere questions and various perspectives, and understands this kind of diversity to be a strength in which we can learn from one another.  It has been said that progressive faith is "defined by Jesus, but not necessarily confined to Jesus."¹  Some of its most prominent spokespersons include Marcus Borg, Jim Wallis, Anne Lamott and William Sloane Coffin.
