HELP...We are having Presbyterian Women Issues
Good Afternoon Dan,
The Moderator of the PW Central Florida Presbytery, Karen Hamilton and the
women on the PWCFP coordinating team are having some serious issues and we
need your guidance and advice. Please read the email correspondence below. This
past Saturday the PWCFP CT met and heard reports back from their districts. They
were saying pastors were informing the women of the church that they were
disbanding PW in their churches and the money was to go into the general fund. Also
reported is one of our pastors told his PW group that our Horizons Bible Study was
not good and they should not be doing it. This Bible Study and every Horizon Bible
Study is a three year process for approval. PW rate and vote on content, so for a
comment like this to be made is not good, period! Needless to say their are a bunch of
upset women in our CFP.
I contacted Sheila Louder, Pam Snyder’s counterpart on the CCT Church wide team;
Sheila is the Justice & Peace Vice Mod.
She told me this is happening all over the country and has become a huge
problem. Now that churches are leaving the denomination and the ladies are sitting on
money the pastors and sessions are thinking up ways to go after their funds. PW is a
registered 501c3 but that is only for the Louisville office not the individual
churches. Sheila advised me to let the women know they need to register with the
state and obtain an EIN number and start their own bank account if they don’t already
have one. The problem is many of the churches don’t want to relinquish the monies
because there are large numbers. Vero Beach PW alone has over $80,000 at their
disposal.
How can we let the pastors know this is unacceptable behavior on their part,
telling the women they are disbanding their circles, shooting down a nationally
approved Bible Study and trying to take their money. This is the kind of nonsense
that causes people to stop giving and attending church.
Please advise us on what our course of action should
be. Thanks so much,
12

Dan Williams, Executive Presbyter, CFP reply:
In your email, you asked several questions that deal with the relationship of a
local
Presbyterian Women’s gathering to the session of a particular church. These questions
are:
1.
Can a Session disband a PW
gathering?
2. Can a Session direct that PW’s money be deposited in the congregation’s general
fund?
3. Can a Session direct what Bible study materials the PW can/cannot
use?
Presbyterian Women is the current incarnation of groups that existed in our
antecedent denominations, United Presbyterian Women and Women of the Church.
These groups were set up as independent organizations within the Presbyterian Church,
with a structure of oversight and accountability that mirrored the system of session,
presbytery, synod, and General Assembly. Since the 1988 union of these two bodies,
local PW gatherings are to be established by the bylaws recommended in the PW
Manual provided by the national organization. Once established according to these
guidelines, Presbyterian Women of the Congregation becomes an independent
organization, albeit one that has some relational responsibilities with the session.
A session has the “responsibility for governing the congregation and guiding its
witness to the sovereign activity of God in the world, so that the congregation is
and becomes a community of faith, hope, love, and witness” (G-3.0201). (It
should be noted that PW’s purpose is congruent with this.)
A session has
oversight responsibility for that which occurs within the congregation: “Each council
shall review annually or biennially, based on the body’s meeting frequency, the
proceedings and actions of all entities related to the body, all officers able to act on
behalf of the body, and lower councils within its jurisdiction (G-3.0108a).
Admittedly, things get a bit murky at this point, as to what the extent of the session’s
authority is in such matters. However, common sense suggests the following:
1. When a PW chapter is established, a session has authority to approve its creation
as an organization or entity within the congregation. That is, the session acts to
permit PW to be organized and to meet within the congregation, including using its
facilities.
2. The PW chapter organizes itself according to the bylaws recommended by the
national PW. This is an important step, as it makes the local gathering of PW
more than merely an organization or entity of the congregation. It is also an
entity established under the guidance of and related to the national PW body,
through the presbytery and synod levels of PW.
3. PW of the Congregation should make annual reports to the session (for the
annual meeting of the congregation), and have its financial records reviewed
14
annually.
(See G-3.0108a.)
If all of these steps have been/are being followed, then particularly because of #2, a
session cannot simply act to dissolve the PW chapter within its congregation. Such
a decision can only be made by the membership of the local chapter, with the
concurrence, or at least input, of the PW of the Presbytery. (To me, this is a parallel to
where a congregation
15
only can be dissolved by the action of a presbytery.) If the session and the PW are at
odds over some matter, it seems to me the only action the session could take is to prohibit
PW from meeting in the congregation’s facilities. If the session desires to potentially
alienate a number of its members and start what could be a protracted season of conflict
within the congregation, taking such an action would seem to be an excellent way to do
so.
Short version to question #1: once session gives its approval to the formation of a PW
group within the congregation, and the gathering is structured according to the national
guidelines, the session lacks the authority to dissolve the group.
The second question, about whether the session can direct PW’s money to be deposited
into the General Fund or any other account not established by the PW organization,
connects to the fundamental principle that offerings must be used for the purposes for
which they were given. PW has a long-established tradition of support via pledges
from members and various special offerings (Birthday, Least Coin, etc.), often
supplemented by other fundraising activities. It seems to me that the only way this
money could wind up in the funds overseen by the session is for the PW group to direct it
to happen, such as by the membership voting to make a contribution towards some
congregational effort. (PWs in congregations I have served have made generous
contributions towards projects like rebuilding a pipe organ or installing a new roof.) If a
PW gathering, in consultation with presbytery PW, votes to disband, it will need to
stipulate as to the disposition of all remaining funds, such as that they be turned over to
the session. Since my opinion is that a session cannot unilaterally disband a PW chapter
contrary to the wishes of its members and oversight of the larger PW organization, it
cannot act to take any or all of its funds. This would constitute making use of funds for
reasons other than that for which they were given.
The third question is whether a session can direct a PW as to the Bible Study materials it
may use. One responsibility that all councils of the church have is “warning and bearing
witness against error in doctrine and immorality in practice within the congregation and
community” (G-3.0201c). Congruent with this, the session has authority over the
curriculum that will be used in the educational ministry of the congregation under its
direct control and oversight, such as in Sunday School. However, PW is an organization
that stretches beyond the local congregation, and decisions as to what materials are to be
used for a PW Bible Study is an issue for the PW to determine.
It is my opinion that the session can suggest, recommend, or even strongly urge that the
local PW not use a particular study, in fulfillment of its responsibility to warn against
error (as the session sees it). But, in my opinion, the session cannot direct PW to not use a
particular study, or to use only a particular study. There are several long-standing
principles of Presbyterian governance that speak to this issue, such as:
·
God alone is the Lord of the conscience. (F3.0101a)
·
There are truths and forms with respect to which [people] of good characters and
principles may differ. And in all these we think it the duty both of private
Christians and societies to exercise mutual forbearance toward each other. (F3.0105)
·
16
That all Church power, whether exercised
by the body in general or in the way of
representation by delegated authority, is only ministerial and declarative … no
Church judicatory ought to pretend to make laws to bind the conscience in virtue of
their own authority. (F-3.0107)
17
Think of this in terms of the session’s relationship to members of the
congregation. The session can advise, urge, warn, etc., its members about certain
books, movies, TV programs, and the like, but it cannot direct its members to refrain
for reading/viewing such materials. The only possible exception I can see is for
some level of judicial process to be undertaken, which in these areas I would suspect
would be dismissed as asking for relief for which a permanent judicial commission
lacked authority to grant.
I am sorry that this response is rather lengthy. As I always do in such
circumstances, I ask you to note the disclaimer that follows my signature. Please let
me know if you have concerns or questions with anything I have written.

Bay
The Global Exchange experience focused on issues of human trafficking, violence
against women and children and declining church membership. Each of the four
countries visited (Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Guyana and Curacao) presented its
own set of issues related to the focus of the trip. We’ll be hearing about Jamaica and
Curacao, the two countries visited by our speaker.

What Does the PW Purpose mean to us as Presbyterian Women?
Debbie Chambers, PW Moderator, Providence, writes:
The PW Purpose is a beautifully worded statement, but what does it really mean to us
as
Presbyterian
Women?
First, I think we need to define the word “Purpose” as it is used here. It is more
than an idea, a vision, or even a goal. I think Purpose means determination; an
appropriate statement for PW for we are a determined group. But determined to do
18
what?
We first say we are determined to “nurture our faith through prayer and Bible
study.” Notice we did not say we would pray and study the Bible, but we would do
so in a manner that would feed our faith. Faith to Christians is not just a thing to be
had, but a growing, evolving part of ourselves, of our very souls, that needs
nourishment in order to survive. Remember, that in many churches, PW has the only
organized Bible study routinely being held outside the Sunday School curriculum.
19
Second, we intent “to support the mission of the church worldwide.” The church here is
not your local church, or even our denomination; it is the entire body of Christians
worldwide and their mission is to minister the word of God to the world. But how are we
to support this mission? Of course, financial support is expected, for no work can be done
without financial support. But I believe that it is more than financial that is being discussed
here. I believe that it means holding up the mission of the church in good times and bad, in
times of joy and crisis, when we agree with that mission as well as when we don’t.
“To work for justice and peace” is to influence and affect the world to provide fair
treatment and harmony to the earth and her inhabitants. Most often, we think of working
for justice and peace as decrying the way people are treated by governments and each
other. But we need to be aware that this is only a part of justice and peace, for anything that
affects the peoples of the earth, be it environment, law, society, whatever affects justice and
peace for those very peoples.
Lastly, we are determined “to build an inclusive, caring community of women that
strengths the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God’s
kingdom.” This purpose builds to quite an ending doesn’t it? We are determined to
intentionally, not accidentally, develop groups of women of all ages, races, ad social
backgrounds, expressly working together for each other in a way to sustain the
Presbyterian Church (USA), thereby providing evidence to the world of God’s presence
and kingdom.
I’ve stated all the things this Purpose intends to accomplish, but by what right do we do
these things? The opening statement of our purpose provides our right: “Forgiven and
freed by God in Jesus Christ.” This shows that by the birth, life, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ, and our acceptance of His salvation, we are freed from payment for our sins.
“Empowered by the Holy Spirit” shows the holy presents within us that guides,
encourages, and strengths us as we fulfill our purpose. The phrase “we commit ourselves”
is important for we not only declare or promise these things, but we bind ourselves with a
pledge to do God’s work as we are led.
Ladies, this is an action statement. To read it, be privy to it, and believe it calls us to execute
the provisions of our purpose fully and completely. Everything we do as PW should be
measured against this purpose. As I said in the beginning, it is a beautifully worded
statement, but to me, it is so much more. It is a brief statement of what we believe, and
expect to do, as Presbyterian Women. Let us strive to fulfill this purpose in all that we do.

AnnuAl Offerings Of PresbyteriAn WOmen
PRESBYTERY PLEDGE—Supports administrative costs of Presbytery Coordinating Team.
SYNOD PLEDGE—Supports administrative costs of Leadership of Synod Presbyterian
Women.
CHURCHWIDE PLEDGE—Supports missions of the church worldwide through General
Assembly
Mission budget.
THANK OFFERING—Originated in the late 1800’s with Eliza ClokeyofSpringfield, Ohio. Her plan
was to ask each woman to give a gift in addition to her usual contribution to the Women’s General
Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of North America as a ‘’thank offering to our
Lord.” In 1888 the women designated a day of prayer and thanksgiving when this special offering
should be received. It is said that these sacrificial gifts saved the worldwide missionary movement of
their denomination.
With church reunion, the Thank Offering was continued as one the Presbyterian Women’s special
offerings. Taken in the fall, 33% is used to support medical mission throughout the world and the other
67% is used for new creative areas of mission selected by the Creative Ministries Offering
Committee from project proposals submitted to them. The July/ August issue of Horizons magazine
contains a report of how the money is allocated.
LEAST COIN—Links prayer and the “least coin” of a country in a very significant way as the least
coin becomes the symbol of prayer for peace and reconciliation. It was begun in 1956 by Shanti
Solomon of India who considered that women anywhere could have a sense of being part of a
worldwide family of faith as they prayed for peace and reconciliation and set aside the least coin of
their country as a symbol of that prayer. As coins are gathered from around the world, they become a
sign of our oneness in the common quest for peace. Yearly an international committee approves grants
for programs benefiting our oneness all over the world. Grants are made by an international committee
for natural disaster emergencies, emerging opportunities, ecumenical projects, ecumenical
organizations, and administration. The November/ December issue of Horizons magazine has
information about the grants given that year. For more information or to order a more detailed report
of the projects and grants contact Church Women United,
475 Riverside Drive, Suite 500, New York, NY 10115, Tel: 1-800-298-5551. Also available for $1.00
each CIRCLE OF PRAYER a collection of meditations perfect for devotions based on the Fellowship
of the Least Coin.
BIRTHDAY OFFERING —In 1922, while on tour of mission stations of the Orient, Hallie Paxton
Winsborough, first superintendent of Women’s Work; PCUS, visited a girls’ school in Koehl, Japan.
Seeing needs she knew would vitally interest Presbyterian Women, she returned home to challenge
these women to give a special offering to help these girls in Japan. Excited by the opportunity, the
women were soon giving a “Birthday Offering” each spring to meet a major mission need. The
offering was in celebration of the birthday of the Women of the Church. Since its inception, over 15
million dollars have been given to mission needs through this offering.
The PW Birthday Offering continues this tradition. The offering is for predetermined projects selected
by the Creative Ministries Offering Committee and announced in the January issue of Horizons
magazine. More information about the projects appears in the March issue. No more than 3 projects
28
are chosen each year, and each must meet the needs of hurting people in accordance with missions
concerns and policies of the PCUSA. The offering is taken in the spring, usually in May. By support
of the Birthday Offering, Presbyterian Women have another special opportunity for mission and
service.

missionaries on furlough as well as for seminary students. They are always looking for good
clean, up-to-date clothing for all members of the family. Many missionaries with children will

About the Pin Design
The caring, supportive hands represent women who seek to build an inclusive
community of Presbyterian Women. The leaf represents growth of our personal
and corporate response to Jesus Christ as we nurture our faith. The dove
indicates our work for peace in our own lives and throughout the world, shown
in the globe. At the center of the design is the cross, by which our sins are
forgiven and we are freed to live in Christ, who is the center of our lives. The
overall design is of a butterfly, the symbol of newness in Christ.

2014 Annual Report to Presbyterian Women – Karen Hamilton, Moderator
