Join the Episcopal Divinity School for a public conversation between the Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward, the Rt. Rev. Mary Glasspool, and the Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas. This event will mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. Heyward and four other women deacons presenting themselves for ordination to the priesthood in the Cathedral in an act of liturgical protest. The event is part of a larger series of commemorations leading up to the 50th anniversary of the ordinations of the Philadelphia Eleven—the first women ordained priests in the Episcopal Church—in July 2024. It is hosted in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of New York's Taskforce for Commemorating the Ordination of Women.
