Progressive Reconstructionism is a loosely-knit interfaith community found principally at this time in the developed world. It comprises activist adherents of Reconstructionist Judaism (and of some other Jewish Traditions) and the Christian left, of progressive Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims, and of left-leaning Neopagans, Wiccans, and members of other faiths, as well as of progressives who follow a spiritual practice but adhere to no particular religion or Tradition, considering themselves to be "spiritual but not religious" (among these are included even agnostics, non-theists, and secular humanists). Some of the key current proponents are Rabbi Michael Lerner, Starhawk, and Rev. Fr. Matthew Fox. Among the seminal ideas leading to Progressive Reconstructionism have been Jewish Renewal, the Social Gospel and Liberation Theology, Reclaiming Wicca, and Creation Spirituality. Some of the main centers of study and organizing in this movement are the Network of Spiritual Progressives, Wisdom University, Naropa University, The Chaplaincy Institute, California Institute of Integral Studies, the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Reclaiming, ''Muslim WakeUp!'' magazine, and the Yahoo! independent catholic Blog (called, "The Old-Catholic Churches"). As an interfaith and progressive movement, it is not to be confused with Dominion Theology, the so-called "Christian Reconstructionism" and Theonomy of such right-wing millennialists as R.J. Rushdooney and his colleagues, North, Bahnsen, et al. Progressive Reconstructionism is also different from the Polytheistic Reconstructionist religions, though both movements include individuals and groups who identify as Polytheists or Pagans, and the Polytheists and the Progressives have more in common with one another than does either group with the "Christian Reconstructionists". ==Basic tenets== *It is an interfaith movement. *It is ecological/environmentalist and progressive. *It is grounded in the prophetic and mystical traditions of the world's religions. *It seeks to carry out the individual's experience of a spiritual ''new way of being'' (metanoia) onto a broad community level through a basic program of spirituality-in-action. *It carries forward what it views as spirituality's perpetual process of renewal. *It seeks to bring creativity, relevance, joy, and an all-embracing awareness to spiritual practice, as a path to healing human hearts and minds, and to finding balance and wholeness (holiness). *It seeks to revive and renew spiritual practice, ritual, ceremony, and language to enhance the inspiration of awe, inter-connection, and empowerment in both the individual and the community. *It acts to be inclusive and welcoming and to respect all peoples. *It seeks to help to heal the world by promoting justice, freedom, responsibility, caring for all life and for the Earth that sustains life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Progressive Reconstructionism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
