The church of my upbringing had female pastors since I was a baby so I never really realized that this was an issue.<br /><br />If ever you are preaching in the upstate NY or western MA area, please let me know. I would come and listen to you talk about anything.8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-9311364827091688372014-07-28T18:17:00.560-04:002014-07-28T18:17:00.560-04:00Hi Fawn.

There are three really wonderful books out now that you really ought to read for more lessons from herstory:<br /><br />The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven by Darlene O'Dell<br /><br />The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me: The Writings of Suzanne Hiatt by Carter Heyward and Janine Lehane<br /><br />Looking Forward, Looking Backward: Forty Years of Women's Ordination by Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Editor.<br /><br />If you can only get one, get the last one. It's wonderful to have all that great variety of all those perspectives and voices.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-10758229365003182152014-07-27T22:45:10.751-04:002014-07-27T22:45:10.751-04:00I was just coming into the Episcopal Church as the...I was just coming into the Episcopal Church as these momentous things were happening -- I still have my first "provisional" prayer book. And I live in the Diocese of San Joaquin, where I am privileged to worship with the Rev. Suzy Ward, the first woman ordained as a priest in our diocese just a couple of years ago. Thank you for this wonderful post and history lesson. - FawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-30935630086628818722014-07-27T22:27:54.125-04:002014-07-27T22:27:54.125-04:00It really was an "earth moving day"It really was an "earth moving day"Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-85052304818346550412014-07-27T22:08:45.964-04:002014-07-27T22:08:45.964-04:00Thanks so much for this personal reflection on an ...Thanks so much for this personal reflection on an historic, and important, moment for the Church. Like Mutha+, this spoke to my soul. <br />I wasn't even in first grade yet when the Philadelphia Eleven were ordained, but I remember that about four years later, my church called its first woman. She was a deacon and I recall feeling personally empowered by her presence and that she was a symbol of greater possibilities and opportunities for women in the church.
