Abstract
ABSTRACT Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six young Australians aged 18 to 30 who identify as Progressive Christians, exploring their experiences of belonging. Being true to one’s own beliefs invariably brought change to relationships, with all participants reported seeking out new forms of community, either in person or online. However, some also continued their involvement in communities which did not accept their Progressive stance, citing a responsibility to support others on the margins of these communities. Social workers can support Progressive Christians through experiences of change, grief and loss associated with their involvement in a faith community.

In the Journal of Religion & Spirituality in Social Work: Social Thought, scholars, researchers, and practitioners examine issues of social justice and religion as they relate to the development of policy and delivery of social services. In addition to timely literature reviews, the journal presents up-to-date, in-depth, expert information on: sectarian and nonsectarian approaches to spirituality and ethics; justice and peace; philosophically oriented aspects of religion in the social services; conceptual frameworks; the philosophy of social work; and a great deal more.
