Christian Council for Monetary Justice

The ecumenical theologian Jurgen Moltmann responded to CCMJ with these telling words: "The neglect of economics is a wound in the side of the church."  The topic of economics is exceedingly difficult to talk about in the First World churches, more taboo than politics or even sex. Yet no aspect of our individual and corporate lives is more crucial in determining human welfare. And few subjects are more frequently addressed in our scriptures.  Burdens of debt at personal, corporate, national and international levels and the disregard of biblical teaching on usury are conspiring to create immense social disease.

Centre for Progressive Religious Thought
The Centre for Progressive Religious Thought was founded in July 2002 in Canberra, Australia, with a further Chapter established in Sydney in 2004. Each Centre is open to any and to all who wish to explore a more progressive and open theology, in a safe environment. They stand in deep contrast to a general tendency which often requires a theology be built on what should be believed. As such, folk who will find comfort in each of the Centres will be those who either (i) remain in the institutional church but find their progressive theology not reflected in much of the local church's thinking, or (ii) have already stepped outside the institution and are 'exiles' or members of the 'church alumni association' yet looking for a friendly and safe environment in which to share discussions and push boundaries. On this site you will find information on various events being staged, some articles from our presenters, listings of resources you might like to check out further, as well as For Sale resources. You will also find links to several other 'progressive' Centres, who with CPRT, form an informal progressive religious network in Australia and New Zealand. It is our hope that both the Chapters, will become fertile soil in the rebirthing of a new awareness of and thinking on, the sacred in today's post-modern society. So welcome to an exciting journey. You are not alone! Rex A E Hunt, National Director...

Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity

The Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity is a place where people who have experienced the isolation resulting from their spiritual growth or faith development can connect with others who have had similar experiences yet continue on the quest for meaning. ...
