The article looks a bit puzzling to me at first sight and I figured out eventually that what it concerns is the progressive movement (The Church Within A Church Movement) within the the United Methodist Church (UMC) and it represents the conservative wing's reaction to the movement. So many unfamiliar terms and conferences are actually Methodist-specific.

What will be more of concern to us is the Progressive Christianity as a whole. I have done some web searching and the two essential sources of information has been posted as a separate topic. Progressive Christianity may be a good model for our Fellowship and in the future we may even consider affiliating with the Centre for Progressive Christianity.

Back to the article, the idea of "a Progressive Christian denomination emerging that would cross traditional denominational lines" is very exciting indeed! Can this be the goal of development of our Fellowship?

Thank you for the exciting article.
