head into their "web offerings" tab and see their offshoots such as the "Discerning Reader" or the manifesto section. Quite an intense version of christian faith which appeals alot to me - and yet at the same time leaves me feeling a little uneasy? I need to explore it some more myself.

thanks for this johno. Mentions of John Stott and Francis Schaeffer, prominent UJ enavengicals of the 60's-80's make it clearer. Francis' son Franky clearly has a lot to do with this.

They're had a newsletter since 1999 and a lot of interest in how Christians engage iwht art and culture, but from a progressive-conservative perspective.

Just look at the newsletter article authors and you'll get the idea - Stanley Grenz, Howard Snyder, Tom Wright, Rodney Clapp,

their catchphrase

Progressively Evangelical
Radically Biblical
Bringing every thought captive
to the obedience of Jesus,
who is The Christ,
The Risen Lord of All.

hmm...
