An Introduction to Progressive Theology

I suggest in our 21st century antipodean context that, if we use the God word at all, we should use it playfully, attaching weak as well as strong metaphors to it, gender-bending it, upside-downing it, spelling it differently, all in order to declare that whatever we say about god is provisional, our best guess, our glimpse, and certainly not something to bank on, or defend to the death, or clobber another with.  And not something we would use to make a law or an ethical standard, or something to reinforce the existing powers and prejudices of patriarchy (as the Church has often done).  

This was written back in 2022, but is still an excellent starting place for understanding Progressive Theology, by beginning with what it isnt.
