The Progressive Christian is an independent nationally-circulated magazine providing news and commentary for and about the Progressive Christian movement. It is published bi-monthly by TPC Publications, Inc., a Maine-based non-profit organization, and edited by Stephen Swecker. It was founded as Zion's Herald in 1823.[1] It has gone by several names since its inception before assuming its current title in 2006:

  • Zion's Herald (1823-1828), published in Boston
  • Christian Advocate and Journal and Zion's Herald (1828-1833), published in New York after merging with the Christian Advocate and Journal
  • Zion's Herald (1833-1840), after returning to Boston and replacing the New England Christian Herald
  • Zion's Herald and Wesleyan Journal (1842-1867)
  • Zion's Herald (1868-ca. 2003-6)
  • The Progressive Christian (ca. 2006 to present)

As Zion's Herald, it was published as an insert in the Southern New England Reporter from 1979-1992. It returned to being published on its own from 1992-1996, with the United Methodist Review included as an insert. From 1997-1998, it was published as a section of the Cross Currents news magazine before resuming publication in 2000 as an independent magazine and changing its name in 2006 to The Progressive Christian.[2]
