What is the state of religion, including progressive Christianity, in Australia?\xa0 To explore that question I spoke with Rex A. E. Hunt, a retired Uniting Church minister, who lives just north of Sydney.\xa0\xa0 He spoke to me about his work as a progressive minister, author, liturgist, and social ecologist.\xa0\xa0 He is the chair of the Common Dreams Conference, September 19-22, 2013 and is the co-editor of Why Weren\u2019t We Told?\xa0 A Handbook on \u201cprogressive\u201d Christianity.\xa0 According to the book\u2019s description:\n\nProgressive Christianity is not new. It has been around for two hundred years or more. But the anger and disappointment of those who have encountered it only recently is palpable: \u201cWhy weren\u2019t we told?\u201d This international collection of cameos and articles on the themes and issues addressed by progressive Christianity is a response to that cry.\n\nYou can find him on his webpage and on Facebook.
