The Progressive Christian razoo group is sponsored by the Institute for Progressive Christianity

IPC Mission

To further awareness and understanding that the progressive tradition is rooted in core Christian gospel values, and to relate that tradition to personal faith, public policy, family, and the common good.

IPC Vision

To create a national Institute for progressive Christian values. The Institute will serve as an educational facility to conduct research, seek to affect and advance policy, educate the public, and influence every sphere of American public life, including politics, academia, arts, and the church.

IPC Goals

In support of IPC’s mission we will develop programs and centers including:

An Academic Research and Analysis Program, with an academic mission to rigorously further the mission and objectives of the Institute through articles, papers and sustained academic exploration and engagement.

A Faith Center, which would relate IPC teaching and message in theology, scripture and tradition, especially to young people, seminaries, universities and churches;

A Politics and Media Center, which would include supporting public servants seeking to uphold the progressive Christian tradition, and would disseminate IPC’s mission via print, radio and television and other media in a compelling way;

A Social Justice and Family Center,which would grapple with the moral and ethical debates of the day and provide support for all families and family-related concerns;

A Conference and Event Center, with a mandate to present vibrant conferences, lectures, and meetings across the country to support and vivify the IPC tradition;

An Arts Center, which will support and give rise to an explosion of arts and cultural tradition that broadly outlines, announces and celebrates the progressive Christian tradition, through music, poetry, dance, theater, art, film, and television.
