The Philadelphia Eleven

 

In an act of disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organize their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. The Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia welcomes them, 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.

Join us for a screening of this documentary!  Women being harassed, threatened and banned in our culture is not exclusive to the church.  If only it were!
