Methodist Federation for Social Action

"The MFSA was founded in 1907 by several Methodist Episcopal clergy to direct church attention to the enormous human suffering among the working class. Immediately the Federation became Methodism's unofficial rallying point for the Social Gospel and achieved in 1908 the adoption of the first denominational social creed. The Federation unites activist United Methodists to promote action on the liberation issues confronting the church and society and to witness to the transformation of the social order that is intrinsic to the church's entire life, including its evangelism, preaching, counseling, and spirituality."

Frankly, I just learned about the Methodist Federation for Social Action but I know Lee Williamson, president of the local chapter, and Carolyn Scarr, who told me about it. Their support of this worthy organization of long standing convinced me to include it in our august group. I fear not that you Wesleyans and other Method religionists (the Lee Strassburg school of worship?) will know, acknowledge and support the righteousness of this cause.
