Church of the Holy Spirit (36 Gould Street, Verona, NJ 07044-1928) is proud to present a viewing of “The Philadelphia Eleven” on Sunday, July 21 at 4pm.

Come see this documentary about the brave act of civil disobedience within the Episcopal Church. Meet the women who were ordained priests in 1974. Witness the story of harassment and threats endured to ensure the rights of all God’s children to serve as priests.

Meet the women who succeeded in building a movement that transformed an age-old institution and  challenged the very heart of patriarchy within Christendom.

Admission is free. Donations to the food pantry graciously accepted. And bring your children! They need to know whose shoulders they are standing on.
