Established in 1939, the Pacific Coast
Theological Society sought to respond to the
need for critical inter-disciplinary and
ecumenical exchange. Evolving over the years,
this mandate has continued and expanded as the
Society has engaged in topics such as the
dialogue between religion and contemporary
science, the interchange among a variety of
faith traditions, and other issues of public
discourse. The Society affords a rare
opportunity for sustained, critical conversation
among diverse theological perspectives.
Patricia Codron Memorial Endowment
The Society is currently funding the Patricia Codron Memorial
Endowment, named for a long-time member who
died on March 11, 2009. Proceeds from the
endowment will be dedicated to awarding an Annual
Prize to the West Coast author of the book that
best reflects the overall purpose of the
Society.
