My question has been inspired by this question: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/90845/can-a-christian-be-a-conservative
***It led me to investigate ‘Progressive Christianity’ which is a "post-liberal movement" within Christianity*** "that seeks to reform the faith via the insights of post-modernism and a reclaiming of the truth beyond the verifiable historicity and factuality of the passages in the Bible by affirming the truths within the stories that may not have actually happened."
> Progressive Christianity draws influence from multiple theological streams, including evangelicalism, liberalism, neo-orthodoxy, pragmatism, postmodernism, Progressive Reconstructionism, and liberation theology. The concerns of feminism are also a major influence on the movement, as expressed in feminist and womanist theologies. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Christianity
This link https://progressivechristianity.org/ outlines the eight fundamental beliefs of Progressive Christianity. Although Jesus is mentioned twice, neither God, the Bible, sin or salvation get a look in. Can anyone shed more light on the theology behind this movement? I am particularly interested in the Reformed Protestant perspective, but would welcome any information that explains their Christian position and whether they are a Christian denomination.
I have no interest in any form of politics and whether Christians vote Conservative, Liberal or Socialist. ***My interest is in the theology behind this relatively modern movement, Progressive Christianity.***
My question is what is the Reformed Protestant view of Progressive Christianity?
