ReplyDeleteHistoric Westminster Presbyterian Church, strategically located across from California’s Capitol, seeks to be a joyous, vibrant, spiritual community and a voice for justice and mercy. We aspire to be a diverse, welcoming, regional congregation, seeking spiritual insights that lead to positive actions. Through worship and open, respectful exploration of the meaning of Jesus’ message, we look for ways to apply his message of love in our lives and in the world.
Based on their Session's complaints to the Synod PJC, I see no message of love, no welcoming, no justice and mercy.
