"What I love about this piece of stained glass is that you see the first woman who was called in the Diocese of Los Angeles to serve as a priest, and she was hired here at St. Cross."
"We've made it over this barrier, but it doesn't mean equality has been achieved, and it's something that we have to keep working on."
"OK, you can be a female priest, but there aren't jobs for you. Or you can only be an associate. Or when you're ready to go get your own parish, we only have these small parishes over here that really are meant for you."
The Rev. Rachel Nyback highlights the significance of stained glass depicting Rev. Canon Victoria Hatch, the first female priest in the Diocese of Los Angeles. Sarah Mullally's installation as the first woman archbishop of Canterbury represents a historic moment for the Anglican Communion. Despite progress, Nyback emphasizes that true equality remains unachieved, noting barriers like limited job opportunities for female priests. Mullally's appointment is seen as both a milestone and a challenge to continue striving for gender equality within the church.
