Скачать или смотреть Sunday Service: Pauli Murray

This month, Sunday Service honors the life, legacy, and living wisdom of Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray: poet, priest, lawyer, and architect of liberation. In collaboration with the Pauli Murray Center, we invite you into a sacred reflection on Murray’s lifelong commitment to justice, and their powerful refusal to be defined by the constraints of the world they inherited.

Born in Durham, Pauli Murray spent a lifetime challenging the systems that sought to erase them. From pioneering legal strategies that laid the groundwork for civil rights victories to becoming the first Black person assigned female at birth to be ordained in the Episcopal Church, Murray’s journey is one of prophetic courage, complexity, and devotion to truth.

Together, we will explore the theme of naming - how we name ourselves, our struggles, and the futures we long for. Through storytelling, spiritual grounding, and collective honoring, we will trace the ripple effects of Pauli’s work and reflect on how we too can be visionaries of a freer world.

Join us in lifting up a hometown ancestor whose life continues to shape what is possible.
