| Resource of the Week |

Living the Questions is a resource (curriculum and media) for progressive Christians - people who know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer humanity. In this curriculum people ask the questions they have always wanted to ask. It is a source for both seekers and "church alumni" convinced that Christianity still has relevance in the 21st century.
