Discuss Point 6 of the TCPC 8 Points...

"By calling ourselves progressive,we mean that we are Christians who find more grace in the search for meaning than in absolute certainty, in the questions than in the answers."

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

1. What makes the search for meaning and purpose in today’s world an important undertaking?

2. In what ways does “absolute certainty” keep us separated from God and our neighbors?

3. Do you believe it takes more faith to live in ambiguity or more faith to believe in a dogmatic faith? Why?

4. How might the words of these two scholars Mitroff and Bennis apply to religions of our day? “If humans cannot control the realities with which they are faced, then they will invent unrealities over which they can maintain the illusion of control.”
