40th Anniversary of Women's Ordination Celebration
The video of the special celebration of the 40th anniversary of women's ordination on July 26 is now available at no fee here.
The Diocese of Pennsylvania hosted a celebration of the 40th anniversary of women's ordination to the priesthood in The Episcopal Church at the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia, the site of the ordinations in 1974. Working in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, the Office of Communication videotaped the event.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori preached at the service; her sermon can be found here.
