<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:22.5pt"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">This story is for everyone. It is about how to break down barriers with grace, and be true to oneself in the
process. And it is about standing up to institutions that do not allow all people to be who they are called to be.<br>

</span><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">The story of the first Episcopal women priests has been under the radar for decades. Perhaps this is because they disregarded certain institutional
edicts, or maybe because their story is inconvenient. After all, they challenged the very core of patriarchal culture. These pioneers have taught me new ways to think about whose history is recorded and remembered, and who does the work of remembering.

inclusive community looks like in practice. If we are serious about loving every human being as they are, then we must find new ways forward that disrupt the hierarchies we have inherited, and replace them with the same kind of radical inclusivity demonstrated
by these priests. <br>

</span><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">My greatest hope is that viewers will watch, listen deeply, and engage with others about how you might stand up so that all of us can live fully who
we are called to be.</span><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#595959;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
