| Candidates
for Moderator respond to Witherspoon questions
[5-15-01]

reflect Witherspoon concerns — and, we believe, concerns of the wider
church.
With thanks to the candidates for their cooperation in responding, we
are happy to share their comments here, presented in alphabetical order.
If you want more information about any of the candidates, you might use
their web sites, listed at the end of their responses.

PVJ's
Facebook page

Witherspoon members and others can gather to exchange news and
views. Mitch and a few others have posted bits of news, both
personal and organizational. But there’s room for more!
You can post your own news and views,
or initiate a conversation about a topic of interest to you. |

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

through prayer, work, art, and intellectual reflection. Through
articles and ensuing discussion we hope to become an active and
