Please join us  for this final talk in this series as we celebrate the achievements of some of the notable women who have been participants in the life of All Souls from its inception in 1819 to the present. The foresight, dedication, wisdom and courage of these key women exemplify the contributions of many women to building this faith community and its multi-faceted ways of impacting our community and our world. These are our role models, our inspiration and our foremothers.Over four sessions we will hear their stories and learn how their spiritual paths as Unitarians and Universalists informed their choices, strengthened their resolve and helped these remarkable women create a more humane and just world. Their fields are diverse; from creating successful philanthropies to crafting enlightening novels, they forged paths and frequently defied conventions. In every sense they represent everything a woman could be and everything a woman should be.The Universalist minister Olympia Brown was the first woman to be ordained by a denomination in the United States in 1862. Nevertheless, the path for women to become UU ministers has faced many challenges over the years. How women found their voices, stood by their faith, and prevailed while finding support by congregations like All Souls is truly inspiring. We honor the women who have served as ministers of this congregation, and the varied, unique gifts they have added to the ministry of All Souls.LAURIE CARTER NOBLE is a writer and independent scholar and was one of the editors of Standing Before Us: Unitarian Universalist Women and Social Reform, 1776-1936. She formerly served as a professor of English at Villanova University and affiliated with Bryn Mawr College.PEGGY MONTGOMERY had a long enjoyable career as a teacher of high school English in Upper Westchester. As a member of All Souls she has served as a Small Group Ministry facilitator and has been active in the Women’s Alliance and the UU United Nations Office. She is currently a Deacon and a member of the team of Lay Pastoral Associates.
