Dear readers,
This is a list of blogs and discussion groups of particular value to members of the progressive Churches of Christ. Please post recommendations for other sites to be added (author, blog name, link).
Here are the rules:
- No university, college, or preacher school sites.
- No congregational sites (but a link to an included page with excellent writing would be fine).
- No personal blogs (no kittens, babies, or breakfast posts).
- Only blogs from within the Restoration Movement.
- Only theological sort of things. It’s not enough that the author is a member of a Church of Christ if he’s writing about politics, welding, or gardening.
- No vitriol. No blogs that are hateful toward Bush or Obama. (There are some very un-Christian things being said in the name of Christ. Please stop.)
- No password protected sites.
- No legalism.
These are posted without recommendation or endorsement.
I encourage you comment in favor of any site you enjoy below. Please, nothing critical here. (But do let me know if I’ve posted something outside the guidelines. I tried to check, but it’s a LOT of blogs.)

Thanks,
Don
Don,
Very happy to add your blog to the list. May God bless many through your work.
Jay:
It would be an honor to be included on your site. My site is http://www.kylestrickland.com.
Blessings to you.
Kyle,
Glad to add you to the list.
I recommend Bob Odle’s “Life in a New Millennium – reflections from a dazed sojourner”: http://rpodle6.wordpress.com/
Bob’s blog inspires and humbles me – he’s all about reverent, faithful, humble obedience to God – without the trappings of our heritage.
Lee,
Thanks. I’ve added Bob’s blog to the list.
Jay, some of these no longer exist. Rex Boyles, Les Ferguson, Bobby Cohoon, A Better View…
Thanks, Wendy. I’ve gone through and purged the dead blogs and corrected some changed URLs. Very much appreciated.
I too would be honored to be included on the list: http://www.BTylerEllis.com.
I’m a Campus Minister at the University of Delaware, on staff with Newark Church of Christ.
Thanks.
Tyler,
I’ve added you to the site. Thanks for letting us know about your blog.
