Being progressive in our culture today provides much-needed hope. The “progressive” label is a lifeline to many people who are looking for a community of acceptance and grace. So let’s give food and water to the least of these, ordain women, protect the environment, push back the New Jim Crow, be a voice in #BlackLivesMatter, march in the protests, advocate for the economically oppressed, wave that rainbow flag, write op-ed pieces, rally congregations, host conferences, get on the evening news, sing songs of hope, and realize our outrageously courageous, fully alive, faithful church. I believe we can embody a living-boldly call to a more just and generous Christianity, guided by Micah 6:8: “God has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” That is what the world is hungry for. That is what I believe the progressive church is hungry for. And that is what I have put on my vision board for 2015.
