Discuss Point 7 of the TCPC 8 Points...

"By calling ourselves progressive,we mean that we are Christians who form ourselves into communities dedicated to equipping one another for the work we feel called to do: striving for peace and justice among all people, protecting and restoring the integrity of all God's creation, and bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers."

Here are a few questions to provoke discussion. Please do not reply to this thread, but start one of your own...

1. What does the term “community” mean for you? When does a group become a community?

2. How do we equip one another and restore hope in an intentional faith community? How is this different from other organizations?

3. How did Jesus seem to define “justice’ by his words and actions? What did those things have in common?

4. What are the different ways that one might define the word “justice”? “Injustice”? How can enforced peace infringe on the justice for others?

5. What do you believe the church’s responsibility should be in confronting injustice in the world or in your community? Why?
