Grateful to be part of the movement supporting the @PhilElevenDoc that tells the barrier-breaking story of the road to women's full inclusion in the Episcopal Church, heading towards the 50th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Eleven ordinations in 1974.

Thank you @RayuelaFilms !

One year after Philadelphia, four more women were ordained as priests at the Church of St. Stephens in Washington D.C. Many people believe this helped shift the tide. It made it clear that women who are called to the priesthood would not stop.

We are thrilled to announce this matching grant from the DeBoccles Foundation. If we meet this challenge, the post production expenses will be paid and we can book screenings for fall 2023.
Can you think of a family foundation that might contribute?
Can you share in your circles?

Dr. Fredrica Harris Thompsett tells us "women who are ordained now don't remember that there were police and guards standing outside of churches when (women) were ordained in 1979 and 80 and 81."

Here is another clip that did not make it into the film. We did not include it because we chose to have the women and their allies tell their own story. This was an interview that really helped us understand the historical context.

Do you feel there are situations when it can become morally imperative to break a rule set by an institution or a government? What questions about human rights would need to be at stake? #TelltheStory #PhiladelphiaEleven #50years

[PhiladelphiaElevenDoc @PhilElevenDoc]

The women in this story broke the rules of the church. They did not make this decision lightly. The service was planned after years of deliberation and discernment. This is an excerpt from our interview with Bishop Barbara Harris that did not make it into the film. #TelltheStory
