Disability History Month: Experiences from the SCM Community

As part of our Disability History Month X Honest Church pop-up, we asked our SCM Community to share their experiences of when churches have done disability welcome well, and when there's been room for improvement. Here's what they shared.

PROGRESSIVE EVANGELISM - A new resource for progressive Churches and communities.

SCM is pleased to launch the second resource in the Affirming Christianity series, Progressive Evangelism.
The four-part course was developed in response to feedback from the movement about the need for an accessible resource on the topic. The materials seek to help progressive Christians define evangelism in their context and understand what draws people towards God. The legacies of the past and the doubts we carry are integrated as part of the discussion, and the activities are designed to help participants to put their learning into action.
