In an act defying traditions and norms, a group of women and their supporters organize their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. The Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia welcomes them for a celebratory service, but others are angry. The women are harassed, threatened and banned from stepping on church property as they continue to move forward as priests.

In this feature-length documentary film, we meet the women who succeed in building a movement that challenges patriarchy within Christendom and transforms an age-old institution.
