The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven
The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven (Seabury Books) is the story of the first eleven women priests in the Episcopal Church and how their ordinations unleashed a media firestorm, upended centuries of customs defining the role of women within the church, and raised questions about the very nature of God. The 2014 publication date occurred in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ordinations. See gallery of photos from Philadelphia, Boston, and other 40th anniversary celebrations and events.
