A Church Ancient and Alive

Pilgrims' UCC has made much use of the work of Marcus Borg, Diana Butler Bass, and others of their ilk over the past 3 years as we've worked hard to become and remain a church "ancient and alive," a church in touch with those parts of the authentic Christian tradition which have always energized and motivated Christians and Christian communities. We've also affirmed our belief that Pilgrims' posseses a "vibrant and vital" understanding of our call and commitment as "authentic Christians in our day."

If you'd like to read more about how Borg, Bass, and company understand these terms and phrases---and if you'd like to understand more about the progressive theology, worship, and practice which is Pilgrims' CLICK HERE to read an article posted in today's Presbyterian Outlook. (OK, we're not Presbyterian, but in matters of church health, we share some common features with Presbyterians.)
