SPAM ALERT!
A scammer is impersonating Fr. Joseph via text – you know the drill! Especially since he’s on retreat. He’s much too busy praying, walking, and reading to be texting anyone right now! So frustrating that scammers target people like this. If your phone allows you to report spam, please do it.

The documentary explores the lives of these women whose ordination was in violation of the constitution and canons of the Episcopal Church – which at the time stated that only men were eligible for ordination. These women succeeded in transforming an age-old institution despite the threats to their personal safety and the risk of rejection by the church they loved. The film’s screening will be followed by a brief program and reception hosted by the ECW.
