We do have a Network of Progressive Church Planters on Facebook. It is a private group, because we want a confidential place to share the ups and downs of church planting. Some of us may be those of whom you speak and some may not be, because some of us came “from” a traditional evangelical church background. I come from the mainline liberal church background but as a church planter I now find myself in an odd sort of alliance with these folks you call Progressive Evangelicals because I am on fire to share the gospel with those who have been burned (pardon the pun) by the judgmental of some churches, and the ineffectiveness of other churches.Some of my kindred spirits call ourselves evangelistic progressives because that does not seem to have as much baggage as evangelical.
This is a long way of saying, yes, there is a convergence of folks from both more progressive and evangelical backgrounds who are passionate about creating communities of Jesus’ followers relevant for the 21st century. Let’s get together!
