In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the
ordination of women to the priesthood, our Adult Christian
Education committee will host a screening and
discussion of the documentary "The Philadelphia
Eleven". Please join us for this special event on Sunday, November 3 from 1:00pm-3:30pm.
A poster featuring a picture from the film "The Philadelphia Eleven" with the text "Join us for a Film Screening and Discussion" "@PhilElevenDoc" In 1974, a group of women and their supporters organized their ordination as Episcopal priests in an act akin to civil disobedience, and challenged the very essence of patriarchy within Christendom. This documentary film tells their story. Sunday, November 3, 1:00-3:30pm Playing at the Episcopal Actors' Guild Hall Sponsored by the Church of the Transfiguration's Adult Christian Education committee.
