Witherspoon Society

We are a playful and passionate community of women and men in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who are called to proclaim the Gospel vision of God’s extravagant love and justice in church and society.  We seek the wisdom of the Spirit for following Christ’s example and for living into the hope of sustained gender equality, racial reconciliation, full human rights for LGBT persons, economic justice, environmental wholeness, an end to war and all forms of violence, and a justice-loving shalom over all the earth.  We commit to risking the transformation of our own selves and our organization to live into this vision, even as we invite both church and society to meet this challenge.Adopted by the joint Board of Witherspoon Society and Voices of Sophia, November 19, 2009
