What Christians Get Wrong About Liberal Christianity?

With the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury, debates around “liberal Christianity” have reignited—but most people misunderstand what the term actually means. In this video, I trace the roots of liberal Christianity back to nineteenth-century thinkers like Schleiermacher, who, inspired by Kant, reimagined faith as an inner moral and spiritual experience rather than a set of metaphysical claims. I then contrast this historical movement with the modern political label often used in today’s culture wars, showing why many arguments about “liberal” versus “conservative” Christianity miss the deeper theological questions at stake.
