About My Library

The People's Theological Library at Think+Pray+Act contains the best available liberal/progressive biblical and theological resources for laypeople who are wending their way through today's theological landscape. So much quality and enthralling Christian literature is buried under popular theology that promises much and asks little, but we would do well to recall Dietrich Bonhoeffer's thoughts on "cheap grace." The People's Theological Library supports TPA's mission to robustly live out the Great Commandment in participants' thoughts, prayers, and actions in the world.

About Me

Welcome to Think+Pray+Act! We are an open and affirming faith community that strives to maintain open and free theological learning as an act toward justice. We welcome all spirit seekers into full participation in the life and membership of the community. We actively and faithfully accept as they are people of every race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, ethnicity, relationship status, physical and mental ability, family type, and economic background.

We believe God calls us to do justice and love kindness, giving assistance and healing to others and the planet by following the teachings of Jesus. We promise to love our neighbors, respect differences, and build authentic relationships by learning who we are, taking just action, and breaking bread together. In our actions, God’s love moves and shines.
