Fred Plumer, President
Center for Progressive Christianity
Is It a Movement or
Are We Just Dreaming?
Here's a great chance to chat with the president of the Center for Progressive Christianity. Fred just returned from the Common Dreams conference in Australia where he spoke to hundreds of people about the future of progressive Christianity.
Across the globe progressive Christianity is now being called a "movement." Biblical and theological scholars are using "progressive Christianity" in their respective work.. Organizations and bloggers calling themselves progressive Christians are increasing at an exponential rate. Progressive Christians gather all over the world in small and large groups. It would be easy to think that those who have been working in this arena for decades have realized our dream.
Fred Plumer will posit that until we formulate a new, dynamic Christology, until we really begin to articulate the distinct differences between progressive and traditional Christianity, and until we speak openly about the damage that can be done in this world by traditional Christendom beliefs, we may still be just dreaming.
Rev. Plumer was the founding pastor of the Irvine (CA) United Congregational Church, one of the more exciting and progressive mid-size congregations in the nation. He has had several articles published on church development, building faith communities and redefining the purpose of the enlightened Christian Church.
Fred became a member of the Executive Council for The Center for Progressive Christianity in 1995 and wrote The Study Guide for TCPC's "eight points." In January 2006 Fred was elected President of TCPC.
