Religious Leaders Caucus

The Religious Leaders’ Caucus (RLC) provides spiritual guidance for SOPHIA through faithful witness to the

Spirit of Love. Each meeting begins with a shared, values-based devotion, and throughout our time together

we return to reflection on our values and how they shape our work. In this way, the RLC nurtures, supports, and strengthens SOPHIA members—helping them bring spiritual grounding to congregational organizing and Task Force initiatives—all with the shared goal of building a more socially just community.

Over the last several years, members of the RLC have actively supported SOPHIA’s Task Force initiatives by:

Writing letters to support updating and/or closing prisons
Advocating for driver’s licenses for immigrants
Providing mini-series on social justice education for voters and on water justice
Hosting book discussions
Leading a community prayer vigil ministry
Offering a video and guided discussion on voter engagement via Zoom

Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 8:30 a.m. via Zoom and are open to all. Contact us for more details.

RLC Annual Education

Each November, SOPHIA offers an annual educational program organized by the RLC. These gatherings are open to everyone and include both learning and discussion, creating a meaningful experience that inspires reflection and opens new possibilities for action.

This year’s RLC educational program will focus on Immigration and will be held Tuesday, November 12, at 8:30 a.m. via Zoom. We are honored to welcome Attorney Stephanie Mitchell as our featured speaker.
