Since 1982, WTC has been addressing issues of social justice from a faith and spiritual perspective. We work to facilitate transformation through learning from and cultivating the leadership of women from diverse communities and through sharing tools for working authentically across differences of race, class, sexuality, religion, etc.
Our mission is to engage and support women's spiritual leadership, using the power of our gifts, deepest values and hopes as a creative force to strengthen ourselves and our communities, to bridge differences, and to work for justice throughout society.
