ABOUT TPC
Across America, spiritually hungry, socially active Christians and visionary representatives of the world’s great religions look forward every two months to The Progressive Christian for sparkling commentary and challenging refl ection on the vital connection between faith and the common good.
Readers of The Progressive Christian are book buyers, magazine readers, Internet users, travelers, investors, environmentally conscious consumers and retirees with varied interests. Many have advanced degrees and are in leadership positions in their communities, the church and their professions as educators, writers, artists, social workers, health-care providers and agents of change for peace and justice.
The Progressive Christian is heir to a religious publishing tradition that began in 1823 in Boston. Today it is on the cutting edge of a signifi cant worldwide movement to pursue a vision of revitalized faith that is spiritually vibrant, morally focused, intellectually credible and concerned for the welfare of planet Earth and its people. The Progressive Christian is an independent bi-monthly non-profi t magazine published by TPC Publications, Inc., and has a growing circulation of more than 5,000 subscribers and a readership of 10,000.
In April, 2008, the Associated Church Press honored The Progressive Christian with its coveted Award of Excellence as North America’s best general interest religious magazine.
