We will all leave a legacy but what will it be?

The woman who anointed Jesus with perfume is for the most part unnamed yet she gets a special mention in the gospel. Did she ever imagine that she was leaving such a legacy?

After her beautiful, costly expression of worship, Jesus responds:

‘Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.’ (Matthew 26:13)

In a similar way, when you leave a gift to CSW in your will, you become part of a work that will last for generations to come.

Our legacy is freedom and justice

As a CSW supporter, you are already leaving a legacy! With every act of solidarity – in praying, campaigning and giving – you are making a difference to the lives of people around the world who are facing injustice because of their beliefs.

You are making an impact as part of a movement of people who love justice; who champion freedom or religion or belief for all; and who raise the voices of those who are not being heard. This is a beautiful legacy already, and when you leave CSW a gift in your will, that impact is multiplied.

‘That kind of world is the best legacy I can imagine…’

Simon George is one supporter who decided to leave a gift to CSW in his will. He told us he was inspired by how we are working to ‘create a freer, fairer world…for people of all faiths and none. That kind of world is the best legacy I can imagine, and that’s why I have left a gift in my will to CSW.’
