Critique of Progressive Christianity
Progressive Christians often express disdain for what they term white evangelical Christianity, which they see as a modern, problematic version of the faith. They may overlook that legitimate criticisms can be made against any group and that many evangelicals recognize these issues. However, the progressive movement tends to collapse all aspects of evangelicalism into a single narrative, reconstructing Christianity to align with their predilections rather than remaining faithful to scriptural tenets. This approach detracts from true commitment to Christ, as their agenda seeks to replace traditional beliefs with personal viewpoints disguised as a new form of faith.
