Join us for a very special movie presentation May 31 and again on June 1 as we share the documentary film: The Philadelphia 11. The film takes viewers to 1974 when there was a dramatic breakthrough of the so-called stained glass ceiling. It gave hope to Christian women everywhere. At a church in Philadelphia, a group of eleven women were ordained to the Episcopal priesthood in violation of the constitution and canons of the Episcopal Church – which at the time stated that only men were eligible for ordination. This story is told in a compelling new documentary.
Trinity will present the film May 31 at 6 pm in the Parish Hall with popcorn, candy, drinks, and childcare provided. We will also present the film June 1 in the church with a guided panel discussion to follow.
