Pre-Convention Dinner & Movie
October 9, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The WNY & NWPA Commission to Dismantle Racism and Discrimination is hosting an October 9th a Pre-Convention Dinner & a Movie showing of The Philadelphia Eleven, the story of the first eleven women ordained priests in the Episcopal Church. “In an act akin to civil disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organize their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. The Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia welcomes them, but change is no small task. The women are harassed, threatened and banned from stepping on church property. … Meet the women who challenge the very essence of patriarchy within Christendom and succeed in building a movement that transforms an age-old institution.”
Join us for dinner, a movie, and conversation. No need to be a Convention Delegate to attend. We welcome our friends from NWPA. For those of you staying at the Sheraton, we are working on a shuttle from the hotel. There is no cost to attend.
