On July 29, 1974, eleven women were ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church at Church of the Advent in Philadelphia in what was termed an 'irregular' ordination. As we mark the 40th anniversary of this momentous day, all are invited to join in a day of celebration at Christ Church Cathedral featuring stories, Eucharist, fellowship, and a panel discussion on "Clergy Women: Then and Now." Events start at 9:30am at Christ Church Cathedral, 45 Church St., Hartford, CT, 06103.
