About Us

The Progressive Christian is an independent religious communications ministry that that aims to amplify the progressive Christian message in a world of fragmented and manipulated media. To this end, TPC strives to build a global community through online connections, providing a forum for commentary, reflection, news, resources and media services. These benefits are provided to community members through both online and print media.

The Progressive Christian is published  by TPC Publications, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization chartered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Its predecessor print magazine, Zion's Herald, founded in 1823, was at the forefront of the 19^th century Social Gospel movement and a pioneering voice for progressive Christianity throughout its distinguished 183-year history. Today's Progressive Christian carries on this mission by publishing unique content focused on faith and the common good, together with opportunities for discussion and discernment, provided through the latest communications technologies and interactive social networks.

The Progressive Christian is editorially independent and unrelated to any official body of the church. It therefore enjoys editorial freedom as a responsible voice in the world of mainstream religious journalism. The editor is Cynthia B. Astle, whose work in religious journalism has been recognized nationally and internationally for more than a quarter of a century. Mrs. Astle is based in Dallas, Texas.
