The Epiphany Group Presents

Roy Bourgeois, MM

A New Model of Being Church

Sunday, March 7, 2010, 2:00 PM

Hardesty Regional Library
8316 E. 93^rd St, Tulsa, OK

Lecture is FREE and open to the public

Roy Bourgeois is a Maryknoll priest, human rights activist, & outspoken advocate for women's ordination. He has been fighting for two decades to close the U.S. Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Ga., which trains Latin American soldiers, many of whom have committed human rights abuses in their home countries. He leads an annual vigil outside Fort Benning that attracts thousands who want to see the operation shut down.

In recent years, he is one of the few priests willing to speak publicly about women's ordination, and in 2008 took part in the ordination of a woman.

Fr. Roy will speak about "A New Model of Being Church", part of the “Shatter the Stained Glass Ceiling Tour” sponsored by Call To Action and the Women's Ordination Conference.
