At a Progressive Christian forum when the assembled people were asked if they supported gay marriage 100% were in favor.
And when asked about damnation and hell 100% were opposed.
This is extremely promising.
Because, outside of the Uniting Church in Australia and the Episcopalian Church in America, all denominations are opposed to gay marriage and they still preach damnation and hell.
But there is a grassroots movement within the mainstream Churches to embrace Progressive Christian ideas.
The hierarchies, however, are digging in and delaying change.
This is why the Churches will continue to decline until the last hope of survival is gone before those in authority will act.
Then they may adopt more progressive theology.
So, if the future of the Church is in Progressive Christianity, the world will be a different place.
