More Light Presbyterians respond to "A
Call to the Church"
More Light Presbyterians has read the call from the
113 executive presbyters to seek a third way for the future of our
church, one that is characterized by covenant not by contest. As
participants in efforts to explore these possibilities we:
 | Welcome the appeal for expanded dialogue before
this coming General Assembly. Dialogue honors the diversity of
belief and opinion within our denomination, as well as our reformed
theology, history and tradition. |
| Agree that restrictive legislation and judicial
complaints are inadequate, divisive and even counter-productive
venues for discerning God's will in times of disagreement. |
| Continue the commitment of More Light Presbyterians
to worship, pray, study and work with our brothers and sisters in
Christ even as we urge the church to change its policies. |
| Encourage congregations, sessions, and presbyteries
across the church to engage in respectful, long term dialogue and
listening with those whose views and understandings differ. |
| Urge all who participate to refrain from
questioning the motives, sincerity, and faithfulness to Christ and
the gospel of those with whom they disagree. |

After fifteen years of scholarship

voices of feminist theologians of all stripes: scholars, clergy,
students, exiles, missionaries, workers, thinkers, artists, lovers
and devotees, from many parts of the world, all children of the God
in whose image women are made. .... This blog seeks to glorify God
through prayer, work, art, and intellectual reflection. Through
articles and ensuing discussion we hope to become an active and
