June 1, 2023 The Rev. Erin Pickersgill

Anna Pauli Murray (1910–1985) was an American civil rights activist who became a lawyer, a women’s rights activist, Episcopal priest, and author. And now, The Rev. Erin Pickersgill, Ministry Developer for Children and Youth in the Diocese of Missouri, is making it possible for all children in our diocese to get to know this remarkable trailblazer!

As a way to celebrate Pauli Murray's feast day (July 1), celebrate our children, and to showcase the incredible work of diocesan author, Debbie Nelson Linck (who wrote, "Pauli Murray, Shouting for the Rights of All People" for 3rd - 5th graders), we are providing an Opt-In FREE gift for every parish of the Diocese: the Pauli Murray Kit!

The kit includes a poster of Pauli Murray, one copy of Debbie's book, lesson plans for all ages, sermon prompts, and a craft and a coloring sheet.

In order to receive your parish's Pauli Murray Kit, please contact the Rev. Erin Pickersgill. The kits will be posted in June, but will be available also throughout the year as an ongoing free resource for you and your community.

Reserve your kit now!
