St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Outreach
Members of St. Paul’s are passionate about tackling social injustices regionally and globally, breaking down ceilings and overcoming societal challenges. , Historically, many of our parishioners have been actively involved in social justice endeavors throughout the twentieth century. A few of these efforts included:
-
participating in the Greensboro sit-ins;
-
serving as the first African American high school teacher in the Philadelphia school system;
-
leading as first person of color to serve as assistant commissioner for basic education in the Pennsylvania Department of Education;
-
breaking the glass ceiling as first African American and first woman to receive an MBA in accounting from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.
