2025 Diocesan Celebration of the Commemoration of the Rev. Absalom Jones and the Consecration of the Rt. Rev. Barbara Clementine Harris
On February 14 at 11:00 a.m. at Christ Church, Shaker Heights, the Wilma Ruth Combs Northeast Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians, in collaboration with the Diocese of Ohio and Christ Church, will host the annual Festal Eucharist celebrating the Rev. Absalom Jones and the Rt. Rev. Barbara Clementine Harris. Jones was the first African American ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church, and Harris the first woman consecrated as a bishop in the Anglican Communion.
The Rt. Rev. Anne B. Jolly will be the celebrant, and the Rev. Megan Allen-Miller will be the preacher. For those interested in participating in the choir, please contact Mickey D. McGroarty, Director of Music for this year’s celebration by January 17. All are welcome to join in the celebration of these inspirational clergy, whose lives and ministries have left a profound impact on the church’s communal life and ministry. Clergy are invited to process in cassock, surplice, and white stoles.
