'Progressive Evangelism' is the second in a series of resources published as part of SCM's Affirming Christianity project.
The course consists of four sessions, each taking a different approach to the subject; tackling what is hard about evangelism with it's legacy of imperialism; what is the 'good news' in our own understanding; what evangelism in action means for us; and the questions of what we are looking for when we look for God.
The Affirming Christianity series explores the life of faith in Christ written by and for people who have shared, progressive values and want to grow from those foundations.
