Please join us for
a 35th anniversary celebration and dialogue on the Confession of 1967, a
confession rich in the spirit of social justice and reconciliation. The
Witherspoon Society is focusing on the Confession's challenge and
relevance to the issues facing our church today. Building on a national
conference held in February, the Society is now sponsoring regional
workshops across the country to further reflect on this vital document
of our tradition. Attendees will be challenged to consider how
progressive Presbyterians can reclaim confessionally the denomination's
social justice agenda.
Keynote
speaker will be the Reverend Jim Kitchens,
co-pastor of Davis Community Church, who received his Master's of
Divinity from Pacific School of Religion. He has served as
Pastor/Theologian at the Center of Theological Inquiry at Princeton and
is a mentor-pastor in the "Excellence from the Start" program
for new pastors offered through the Office of Theology and Worship.
Facilitator
will be the Reverend Kent Winters-Hazelton,
pastor of Claremont Presbyterian Church, Claremont, CA. Winters-Hazelton
is lead strategist and member-at-large of the Executive Committee of the
Witherspoon Society.
The
cost for the event is $20 including dinner.
