Check it out here: Women’s Oral History Project – Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island:

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the ordination of women to the Episcopal priesthood, the Diocese of Rhode Island undertook an oral history project that features interviews with five history-making women with deep connections to the diocese.

Rather than issuing statements, we decided that it was better to hear directly from the women connected to Rhode Island who were in the room on that day, or whose opportunity to serve as priests in the Episcopal Church happened because of what happened on that summer day.

I’m grateful to the women who took part in the project, all of who are known, respected and cherished by all of us in this diocese.

We’re rolling out the first part of the interviews this week. We’ll have more next week, so check back!
