July 26, 2014- Celebration of the "Philadelphia Eleven's" 40th Anniversary

What a joy it was to be present in the company of so many important women in the church! From some of the first female priests in the church, to the first female bishop (Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris) to, of course, the first female Presiding Bishop! The Church of the Advocate was filled to capacity and filled with the Holy Spirit. You can see a video of the service on the official Episcopal Church website, and at this link here. The text of her sermon is there too:  http://episcopaldigitalnetwork.com/ens/2014/07/27/40-years-ordained-2000-years-in-ministry-celebration/

You won't be disappointed! I also got some great photos of our PB:

Procession

"Put on your shoes and take up those crosses. We’re marching upward to Zion."

Procession . I had an aisle seat and got this good shot.

Myself on the left , of course the PB, and 2 of my friends at the reception. I wore the pink "It's a Girl" button that commemerated her election as PB. Thought it appropriate since it was a day to celebrate women! She noticed the button and was very humbled!
