Connections and Links

 One of Witherspoon's major goals is to build connections -- relationships among various groups in the Presbyterian Church that are working for justice and peace, for an inclusive church in a society that cares for the creation.

But we also want to build supportive connections among people, since the struggle for peace and justice is sometimes wearing, sometimes lonely -- and is better pursued with others than alone.

Our Links page will lead you to some of the other groups to which we relate, both Presbyterian groups and others, along with some more general sites on which we rely for information and analysis.

Our calendar of coming events lists -- well, coming events that might well interest you.  And if you can add information on other events, let us know!

Books of interest offers comments and reviews on books of interest of to progressive Presbyterians and their friends. 

Pastoral searches by churches seeking progressive pastors -- and progressive pastors seeking new opportunities for service -- are listed for your information.  And please let us know if you or your church want to be listed too.  Just send a note!

Services that might be helpful to churches or pastors are listed on a page of their own.

Food for the Spirit is a section offering just that: poems, reflections, sermons and other material to nourish the spirit.  Please visit the Food for the Spirit page now and then, and share whatever you might be able to offer to others.
Just send a note with your own thoughts!

We encourage conversations about any concerns or ideas you want to share with others.  You may want to respond to something you've found on the Witherspoon website, or to other issues in church or society.  Check out the conversations page, and see if there's anything you want to connect with.  And just send us a note!

 

If you're interested in joining in conversation -- and cooperation -- with Witherspoon members, please use this form to send us a note.  If your opinions strike the Webweaver as interesting to others, and if you check the box to let us know it's OK to share your note, it may turn up here.  Click here to read some responses - and then add yours!

My e-mail address is:

YES, it's OK if you want to share my thoughts on this web site!  (What an honor!!)
And it's OK if you mention my name.
Please don't identify me as the author.
