2 Peter 2:1-3 (ESV)

Progressive Christianity:

- Believe that following the path and teachings of Jesus can lead to an awareness and experience of the Sacred and Oneness and unity of all life.

- Affirm that the teachings of Jesus provide but one of the many ways to experience the Sacredness and Oneness of life, and that we can draw from diverse sources of wisdom in our spiritual journey.

- Seek community that is inclusive of all people, honoring differences in theological perspective, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, class, or ability.

- Strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.

- Embrace the insights of contemporary science and strive to protect the Earth and ensure its integrity and sustainability.

- Commit to a path of life-long learning, believing there is more value in questioning than in absolutes.
