Discuss Point 4 of the TCPC 8 Points...

By calling ourselves progressive,we mean that we are Christians who invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable (including but not limited to): * believers and agnostics, * conventional Christians and questioning skeptics, * women and men, * those of all sexual orientations and gender identities, * those of all races and cultures, * those of all classes and abilities, * those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope; * without imposing on them the necessity of becoming like us.

Note: This discussion is for those who generally identify as liberal/progressive/open Christians, or who want to understand more about it. To respectfully debate any of the underlying assumptions, please start your conversation in the "Debate and Dialogue" area.

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

1. Can you think of a type of person who might make you uncomfortable if one sat next to you during a church service?

2. What would you be willing to change in your church if it meant making more people feel welcomed or comfortable? Music? Order of worship? Style or time of worship? Number of services?

3. What would you be unwilling to change?

4. How long do you think people should attend your church before they can hold positions of responsibility?
