This is a blog that celebrates women who are bishops in the Episcopal and Anglican Church. There are still some parts of the world where women cannot be bishops. Here's hoping that the "stained glass ceiling" will break soon in those parts!



This blog was created with the hopes that those interested in church (especially young girls) who are searching the net will come across this page (hopefully the catchy title helps!) and find it inspiring and informative.

Barbara Harris

Barbara Harris  is the first female bishop to be concecrated in the Episcopal Church. I am especially proud that she is from Philadelphia (my city) and was consecrated on my birthdate, February 11. She paved the way for other women bishops- one being Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal Church's first female Presiding Bishop, in whose installation ceremony Harris served in. She is currently an Assistant Bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, DC. Biography
