This event will take place at The Douglass Theatre in Macon on Sunday, November 5th. The Philadelphia Eleven recounts the ordination of the first women into the Episcopal Priesthood 50 years ago in 1974. This film not only commemorates the courage of these eleven women and those who stood with them, but it also invites us to ask how we may continue to celebrate an inclusive priesthood, church, and world.

Tickets include:
4 pm – Reception
5 pm – Screening of the Documentary
6:30 pm – Panel discussion

Ticket Price is $20 per ticket with student and senior discount tickets at $10. Use discount code: SRstudent23

Proceeds from this event will be used to create the Eloise Eubanks Lester scholarship fund, which will help defray the cost of seminary for eligible women in the Atlanta Diocese. Rev. Lester was the first woman priest in the Atlanta Diocese, ordained at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Macon in 1977. Her legacy of courage and compassion continues to inspire us today.

Those who wish to contribute to the scholarship fund without attending the screening may donate on EventBrite without purchasing tickets.
