Story Of The Philadelphia 11

To release at the 40th anniversary of the ordinations

* First book to tell the story in first-person interviews

Darlene O’Dell and Carter Heyward tell the story of the historic ordination, introducing us
to the 11 women involved, the paths that brought them together on that day-and what
has changed (or not changed) in the life of the church over the intervening years.

AUDIENCE: For ordained women (and those who wish to be) across denominations,
church historians, seminarians, feminists, theologians, and general readers with an
interest in this historical development.
