On July 29, 1974, eleven women were ordained priests at the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia, PA. It was an act of civil disobedience that changed the Episcopal Church and challenged the patriarchy within it. 50 years later, a new documentary titled The Philadelphia Eleven tells the story of this historic event. More information on this film and opportunities to view it in person may be found at www.philadelphiaelevenfilm.com.

The documentary will also be a part of the Athena Film Festival with a showing on Sunday, March 3 at 3:00 pm at Lehman Auditorium at Barnard College (3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 — 202 Altschul Hall) buy tickets by clicking here (General Admission ticket price is $17.84).
