An unsolicited viewpoint:
Hello, I’m sitting with my wife, Debbie, in our living room here in Pakse, Laos, reading through various websites on Progressive Christianity. I’m looking for a group/community to become part of, as it has been a challenge being a Progressive Christian for the past 3 years.
We’re from Perth and volunteer with Australian Volunteers in S.E. Asia. Formerly missionaries for 11 years and pastor I have now studied, listened and read too much about the origins of my faith to be able to return to what I believed before. As a result it has been a somewhat lonely journey with a few “heretic” accusations from some of our mostly Evangelical friendship base.
I have written a story of my changes in a blog, www.changedbeliefs.blogspot.com
Any way would be interested to join your group.
Cheers

I was greatly encouraged to read your ‘Progressive’ account of your journey and resonates with mine in many respects. I would be interested to know if you eventually find a christian community in Perth where you feel at home.
