Screening held in the Eichelberger Forum at the Dayton Metro Library Main Branch

Christ Church is thrilled to host a free screening of the new documentary, “The Philadelphia Eleven,” celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s ordination in the Episcopal Church. This event is made possible by a generous grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio’s Faith in Life Committee.
“In an act of civil disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organize their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. The Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia welcomes them, but change is no small task…In this feature-length documentary film, we meet the women who succeed in building a movement that transforms an age-old institution, and challenges the very essence of patriarchy within Christendom.”
