Mike, great article - nice, simple description about each of these issues and where Christians fall on these issues and why. Well done.

I'd like to add an additional thought to what you so well written.

I would offer that "traditional" really only applies for recent history and a Western understanding of the world. Some of the things in the traditional category could be argued as being longer in history, but so much of it is actually clouded in Western worldviews and the heavy focus on intellectual knowledge, importance of doctrine and being right about God, rather than encounter with God.

Karen Armstrong wrote a wonderful book called "the Lost Art of Scripture" which traces the history of Scripture across all religions and how it has been viewed, how it was created, and the relationship it has with cultures. She argues that beginning in the 1500's or so, the emphasis in Western Christianity has been on left hemisphere of the brain attachment to religion - it's about concrete answers, being right, studying Scripture, etc. The right hemisphere, which is more experiential, relationship oriented, abstract, has been subverted. The Mystics were right hemisphere Christians who came about as a counter to the heavy emphasis on the left hemisphere of the brain approach to religion.

And of course, this ends up being about control. The left hemisphere is more concerned with order and the right hemisphere is more concerned with empathy.

This would be another way of talking about the "Traditional" and "Progressive" characteristics of Christianity. I hope this is helpful and expands on what you have written.
