Pauli - Episode 3 - Saint Pauli

A podcast about the power of one person to reinvent herself and change what's possible for us all.

After spending decades fighting for gender equality and racial justice, Pauli Murray decided to unite her convictions for human rights with her religious spirtuality. In her early 60’s, Pauli entered seminary and became the first Black woman ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1977. She brought to the priesthood the same power she’d carried as a firebrand all her life ― a power that is strengthened by women in the church today standing tall on Pauli’s shoulders.
