"Progressive Christianity believes the Christmas stories are fictitious accounts designed to introduce the radical nature of the adult Jesus."

"Progressive Christianity however emphasizes behaviour above belief."

Wow. Makes The Episcopal Church seem almost traditional. For now.

This philosophy is very close to The Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's philosophy, who has called the philosophy of individual salvation through the belief in Jesus Christ "the great Western heresy", despite the fact this belief is a canon of The Episcopal Church and must be declared to be confirmed as a member of the church (BCP p415).
