Pauli Murray inspires new generation of ‘firebrand’ Black, queer Episcopal leaders
We love reading about Pauli Murray, the first Black woman ordained an Episcopal priest. Her birthday was November 20 — which is also the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance — and there are many worthwhile reflections and retrospectives about her life that are worth searching out, including this piece in the Episcopal News Service:
The Rev. Pauli Murray, a queer writer, lawyer and co-founder of the National Organization for Women who in 1977 became the first Black woman ordained an Episcopal priest, continues to inspire new generations of “firebrand” leaders to authenticity and activism.
