Progressive Movement walks this way

 

 

June 23, 2013.Colorado Springs. Progressiveness has taken on so many meanings in the past decade or so. There’s Flo the iconic symbol of saving you money on your car insurance and then there is the Move on America group that flows progressively upstream to promote social engineering causes. They are integrated with soft and hard sells but are one in the same. Last week the erosion and closing of Exodus International was quiet enough in the progression and aggression of media and cultural bullying, yet the absence of what evangelicals call “love” is apparent and sadly another example of progressive aggression that is shaking our culture in it’s boots. In a press conference this morning in Colorado Springs a progressive group of a different kind took to the city hall steps. A church and an institute are in the plans and will be nationally and internationally far reaching.

Progressive Street Church

On Monday, July 1, a group of evangelicals will be starting The Progressive Street Church who will start on one block of the city and end up on another. In between there will be praise and worship; prayer and a message. It is part of various ways that Friendship Fellowship is taking fellowship to the streets. An informal group of anonymous leaders of ministries, business and communication professionals began meeting in 2010. “We were anonymous because we did not want to be the focal point,” said the founder and president of Ministry, Leadership and Communications. “Today the group wants to remain anonymous in terms of leadership and be known as a team of men and women who are dedicated to progressive leadership in evangelism.” The group is made up of CEO’s; legislators; educators and entrepreneurs. There are advertising executives; pastors; non-profit experts and leaders and financial professionals, architects and graphic artists. There are Pastors and there are Five Points that are managed and guided through the obstacle courses of the inner-city. “I am pleased to announce,” says the founder; “that we are officially an institute called Ministry, Leadership and Communications Institute.”

Ministry; Leadership and Communications Institute 

The national group is working towards five points of influence in the culture and particularly publishing works and positions on evangelism and church planting in the inner-city; The Least of These ministries especially in the area of intellectual and physical disabilities; media that feeds a hungry culture; prayer and prayer and praise walking your city; and community building through outreach. Beginning next Monday, July 1, MLC Institute will begin a formal process of publishing digital studies; forming solid relationships; and participating in outreach in the following areas:

Denver/Colorado Springs: Regular Prayer Walks and Leadership meetings and coffeehouse ministries. Starting; supporting and sustaining a new media platform called Vantage Point. “We are curators of message; mission and music.” Between September 4 and 7 the group will launch a progressive street church in Orlando and in Brooklyn and Boston in October.
