Gauging Interest: South Bay Interfaith Clergy Meetup?
by Gina Pond • • 0 Comments
I was talking with a fellow South Bay clergy person the other day, and we both had the impression that there’s not as much clergy support, particularly for progressive clergy, in the South Bay as there is in the East Bay and San Francisco. So, we’ve decided to do something about it: we want to […]

by Nisaa • • 0 Comments
