Christians Plan National Day Of Prayer To Support Trump Impeachment Inquiry

Progressive Christian leaders are calling for a national day of prayer this Sunday to show support for a fair and open impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

Over 100 leaders from evangelical, mainline Protestant, and historically black congregations, among others, have signed a letter pledging to pray on Oct. 13 that the impeachment probe led by House Democrats shines “the light of truth” on the president.

“Jesus taught us that only the truth will set us free,” Rev. Adam Russell Taylor, executive director of the Christian organization Sojourners, told HuffPost. “The deflection, lies, and conspiracy theories promulgated by the Administration and the President’s most loyal Congressional allies represent an assault on truth.”

“This perilous moment calls for bold action from both religious and civic leaders who must put country and the common good over partisanship, the pursuit of truth over lies, and morality and accountability over fear and short-term political calculation,” Taylor said.

I like it. I would even go further and say lets pray that the light of truth shines on everything that went on with the Ukraine.

Anyone know what a "Progressive Christian" is?

That sounds like a good thing to pray for.

...this thread isn't really about that but if you'd like to discuss it you could just start a thread about it.

Here is the Statement of Purpose for the faith group forum for Liberal Christians here on CF:
Statement of Purpose - Whosoever Will, May Come - Statement of Purpose

While it may not be *the* definition of a Progressive Christian, it can be helpful in learning more and understanding that there is much, much more to Christianity than just Conservative Christian Fundamentalist doctrine.
