progressive
As a small example of this progressive position, we find that in our church we have been to a wide range of festivals this year.
I am left-wing and I get angry when my progressive friends, who are not religious, show greater acceptance of homosexual people and are more supportive of women in leadership roles than church members – we’re supposed to be the best!
I am Young, Ecumenical, and Practical – and I call on you to use your vote, for inclusive and progressive ministry, with Tobias as your 1st vote, and Nadine Daniel and Warren Bohan as your 2nd and 3rd preferences.
So I will work to allow progressive parishes to celebrate same-sex relationships in their churches and to more fully recognise the vocations of LGBT+ people, while legally securing and respecting the conscience of conservative parishes.
I am creedally orthodox and progressive ethically, trusting all to the grace and abundant love of God in Christ, expressed and achieved through the cross and resurrection.
I uphold the church’s traditional doctrine of marriage, and I want to ensure that legally secure provision is made for traditionalists, if there is to be further progressive innovation.
My interests are football (Spurs, and a qualified referee), progressive rock, theatre, hill walking and, perhaps most of all, choral singing.
New converts aren’t coming for either progressive or populist political agendas, but out of spiritual hunger and a need for meaning.
I am not a “card-carrying” progressive.
I have progressive values, supporting same-gender blessings, and showing love towards inclusion of all people, but I combine this forward-thinking approach with an evangelical Christian faith, with the love of God and his son Jesus Christ at its heart.
I have regularly fed-back to York Diocesan Synod on the business of General Synod, often being asked to give a perspective from the progressive point of view but always striving to be balanced and courteous to all.
My own past voting record has been on the progressive side of these questions, though since being asked to chair LLF-related debates in the Synod I have refrained from voting in them as a visible expression of the impartiality of the chairing.
I will bring a progressive and practical voice to Synod.
I want mutual flourishing to work for everyone - men and women, progressive, conservative, and everywhere in between.
I have even become lead guitarist for a local progressive rock band!
I enjoy listening to Radio 3 in the mornings and progressive rock in the evenings.
