016 Why Progressive Inclusive Diverse Christianity sometimes isn't, and why the faithful can't be faithful

Episode 016 Why Progressive Inclusive Diverse Christianity sometimes isn't, and why the faithful can't be faithfulThis week we sit down (via the interwebs) with our new friend JD from Tennessee as he shares his story.  We move from the [independent] church of Christ to China to Memphis to the Disciples of Christ to home...it's quite a journey.  Along the way we talk about why progressive and inclusive individuals would ever leave a church that brands itself as inclusive and progressive.  We discuss, specifically, our shared experience in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the restoration and unity movement that it represents.  But that is really just a stage for us to talk about the kind of issues that face churches across denominational lines who are seeking to be a place of justice and peace...and a place of, dare we use the used-ad-nauseum term "UNITY"?!  Sure, we dared...why not?  Don't worry, like the Disciples of Christ among whom the three of us found our home at some point along our spiritual journeys, we need not agree on anything to enjoy this discussion...and you don't have to agree with us to enjoy it either.  So grab a glass of wine and join us.For an OFFICIAL view of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) visit Disciples.org.  We also discuss the United Church of Christ, whose official site is at ucc.org.
