This is the time, I believe, for Christians and non-Christians in both parties to become truly progressive — to move on from old and tired fights and litmus tests that polarize, paralyze, and never lead anywhere productive. We need to realize this inconvenient but urgently needed truth: it’s not the 1980s anymore. If we keep asking the same old poorly framed or unproductive questions — What is your position on abortion? What’s your position on gay marriage? Are you religious or secular? Are you for or against big government?– whatever our answers are, we remain stuck in a past moment and can’t get out of it. We don’t just need new answers to the same old questions; we need to raise new questions entirely, and in that way, change the conversation in both parties in a truly progressive way. Brian McLaren ☀
