About this organization
Mission
Aiding one another in the work of becoming more fully human, in the ways that God has given us, through: Constant Learning: Learning about the many paths to spiritual wisdom and fully-human living. We look to scripture, the model of Jesus, and other traditions for guidance. Justice Work: Discovering the stories of Jesus and peacemakers like Gandhi, Chavez, Mandela, and King. We work together to live these stories as we care for God’s creation. The Arts: Celebrating the language of the musician, the poet, the painter, the storyteller and the dancer. We nurture these magical voices that help us plumb the depths of our interior life and external realities. Inclusion: Striving to follow the radical hospitality of Jesus. Gay, straight, child, elder, believer, non-believer, rich, poor, strong, wounded, all genders, all races, all people are utterly welcome in our work and worship together.
About
From its inception in 1823 to the present day, South Presbyterian Church has faced controversy head-on with love and has tackled the issues of the day with foresight and courage. The congregation was active in the abolitionist movement in the age of slavery and in the Civil Rights Movement during Jim Crow Segregation. We protested the War in Vietnam and organized against housing discrimination in the Village of Dobbs Ferry. In more recent history, the church devoted itself to advocating with New Yorkers experiencing homelessness – creating Midnight Run in 1984. That same year, the church began a long and storied journey as an outspoken proponent of LGBTQ rights, and an early leader in the More Light movement. In the age of Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock and Occupy Wall Street, mass incarceration and mass deportation, anti-trans legislation and climate science denial, we find ourselves wrestling with new questions and callings. As we open ourselves to the prophetic stirrings of this time, our heritage continues to shape and ground our life and work together.
