| The Presbyterian Forum agrees with
Witherspoon?!?
[5-31-01]
On their "update"
web page, the Presbyterian Forum, which was founded in 1997 with the
goal of achieving political change (toward the Right) in and through the
Presbyterian Church, announces that "The Witherspoon Society Is
Right."
Your Witherspoon web-weaver doesn't know whether to rejoice or weep, but
we take note of their comments with thanks. We appreciate their clear
statement that the reasons for their concern about the Moderator's call
for a "study commission" are quite different from ours.
To avoid misunderstanding, we would like to emphasize that we offer no
objections to the idea of the appointment of some kind of special
committee to seek ways to rebuild the unity and health of our church.
But such a study group should not be given undue authority, and its work
should not be a reason to delay further the long-awaited day of
justice for gay and lesbian members of our church.
Please take a look at the original Witherspoon
statement, if you've haven't already.
