CrossLeft Forum Guidelines

Statement of Purpose

CrossLeft is a strategic clearing-house and grassroots activism nonprofit organization affiliated with, but operating separately from, the Institute for Progressive Christianity.
Our objectives include developing strategies for long term change, building awareness and educating the American public about the progressive Christian movement, and coordinating social and political action corresponding with our progressive beliefs.

1. Treat others with respect and courtesy.
• As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. –Proverbs 27:17
2. We encourage discussion of topics and issues as partners in a mutual endeavor between brothers and sisters in Christ working toward the common goal of understanding God’s will and direction as it relates to social and political action.
3. We are here in a spirit of unity to find common ground from which we can move forward with a progressive Christian agenda.
4. We welcome vigorous healthy debate that does not violate principle #1.
