Opportunities for Spiritual Growth

"The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?" — Dorothy Day

20th century social activist and Catholic worker Dorothy Day brings to question how we revolutionize the world around us. Like her and many of our foremothers, we strive to answer Day's question of revolution – and many of us have found that the work for change does, in fact, "start with each one of us." Spiritual growth has been a long-held part of the work of United Methodist Women and is an expression of our personal and communal commitments to see Christ in the world.

As we embark on the journey for spiritual growth together, let this website serve as a place where you can find new, innovative ideas for worship, books that guide your time together over dinner, coffee, or small group, and opportunities for radical, fearless, and bold leadership.

Spiritual growth is an act of engagement. It is not static or stagnant; it moves, is pushed against, molded and shaped in our hands and hearts! The revolution in the world begins with a revolution within us.

Are you ready for the journey?

With hope,
Alisha L. Gordon, M.Div.
