[Healing] Progressive Christianity Celebration of Pentecost

[JOHN & LINDA SURINCHAK]

The following is from the Center For Progresive Christianity.  For your perusal.  You may want to check out their website  www.tcpc.org .     John+     This coming Pentecost, May 27, 2007, TCPC is inviting all affiliate congregations and other churches around the country to celebrate what we are calling Pluralism Sunday. We are encouraging the progressive Christian community to take this opportunity to celebrate the harmony and understanding that is possible among followers of different religions and spiritual traditions. 

  Pluralism Sunday is a step toward breaking down the walls of pride and prejudice that fuel culture clashes and foster physical violence in our homes, in our communities, and in the world.


We are proposing Pluralism Sunday as


    
   time to bring people of other faiths to preach or help lead worship

  
   time to teach young people about the validity and value of other faiths

  
   time to integrate other religious traditions in worship through songs and liturgy

  
   time to let your wider community know that your church embraces religious pluralism: it’s an evangelism opportunity for reaching the many people who reject Christianity because they think it claims the only path to God.

  
   time for national and regional publicity for participating churches, through the TCPC network

Stay tuned to www.tcpc.org for more information about this event and how you can participate. For now, put Puralism Sunday on your church calendar! And be thinking of ways you can celebrate it.  If you have an idea to share, email Rev. Jim Burklo, TCPC’s Pluralism Sunday coordinator (jtburklo at yahoo.com).
