Leslie Withers

Leslie Withers plays flute and Irish penny whistle. She also enjoys singing with the church choir at Oakhurst Baptist Church, where she is a member of the worship planning team. She began exploring the meditative music of the Taize Community several years ago and has led Taize vesper services at Wild Goose since 2017, along with other musicians from Oakhurst Baptist Church. These services have brought together scores of musicians who love singing and praying together. Leslie appreciates the transformative effect that ensemble singing and instrumental music can have as a spiritual exercise. An activist as well as a musician, she serves on the Georgia state coordinating committee for the Poor People's Campaign, a National Call for a Moral Revival.
