The Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity is a leader in questioning religious dogma, concepts, and practices. This is the third conference we have organised to help those with questions and concerns about Christianity to meet and discuss important issues. Drawing a number of exceptional voices and experts together creates the opportunity for in-depth discussions and lively debates in a safe and yet rigorous venue. Beliefs will be examined in the light of critical contemporary scholarship. New ideas and innovative approaches to help Christianity progress into an enlightened age will be at the forefront.
This is a welcome opportunity for those inside and outside the church who wish to engage in rich conversation about these core values. Those isolated in either small communities with few choices available to them or large conservative congregations will find the leadership and gathered community suppportive and inspirational. Leaders determined to guide congregations toward a more dynamic involvement with their chosen religion will be accompanied past many of the pitfalls of progressive change. Individuals outside traditional Christianity who yearn for community will find opportunities to engage in those larger conversations that too often don’t take place in church or social gatherings. This Conference offers the opportunity for open discussion, joyous learning, and the straight goods on what Christianity could be as a living force in each individual and every community.
