Philadelphia Eleven Screening at St. Jude's, Cupertino
Sunday, July 28, 2024, 1:00 PM
The Diocese of El Camino Real is pleased to be offering a screening in each deanery of the documentary “The Philadelphia Eleven,” about the first women ordained as priests in the Episcopal Church, 50 years ago.
From the website: In an act of civil disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organized their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974, but change is no small task. The women are harassed, threatened, and banned from stepping on church property. In this feature-length documentary film, we meet the women who succeed in building a movement that transforms an age-old institution and challenges the very essence of patriarchy within Christendom.
All are welcome!
