August 17, 2020

Young and Fearless in the USA

July 29, 2020

A young and fearless group of women looked around and realized that the story of how the women had penetrated and demanded a new place in the life of the Episcopal Church needed to be documented.

They needed money to support their research and travel, time to write and find publishers, and the imagination to explore stories that had yet to be uncovered. The EWHP founders were capable and had the drive and interest to capture the stories of the women who had laid the foundation of The Episcopal Church. So, they started a new organization, the Episcopal Women’s History Project. … [Read more...]
