I have just discovered the Center for Progressive Christianity and am THRILLED! :D I never new such a denomination existed...

I plan on posting a little background information later, but do you all mind sharing a little about your faith experience before coming to the CPC?

Well it is not actually a demonination-- just a group of people from more progressive demoninations and some that might not be affliated at all joined together.
I think most of us on the forum don't actually belong to TCPC but like hanging here for our discussions. I think there is quite a mix of various demoninations that would be considered more progressive:

United Methodist
Presby. USA
Episcopal
liberal Catholic
UCC

Perhaps some Unity, Unitarian, etc.
And maybe some Buddhist or neopagans thrown in. ;-)

Well, good. A new conversation. I'm new, too. I spent time as Protestant, converted to Catholicism, reverted back out, spent some time hanging out with new-age type spirituality, finally got into a conversation with someone who helped me see that I never left Christianity in the first place. Where I had been wasn't authentic Christianity! Who knew! He suggested I check out TCPC, where I've been reading for awhile. Good place, this.

Welcome Hilary & pat ...

Enjoy your journey with TCPC! My UCC church has been an affiliate for some time and I am considering becoming an individual affiliate. I remember well the first time I saw the 8 Points about three years ago and thinking "wow ... can this be true?" It felt like coming home.

Welcome newbies !! I trust that your journey with us will be rewarding, or maybe it won't. I'm one of those weirdo believers that is not a church goer, but i find alot of spiritual sustenance in this special place. Have fun !!

It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." -- Franz Kafka
