Lady Liberty League 25th Anniversary Report

Share
Thanks to all the hard work from many people in our community and abroad, the Lady Liberty League 25th Anniversary Event went off without a hitch last night here in DC. Together, we helped make this a night to remember in Pagan history, and the history of the modern religious rights movement.

Among the national Pagan leaders who took part in the reception were:

Selena Fox - Founder of Lady Liberty League and Circle Sanctuary
Patrick McCollum
of California, LLL Chaplaincy Affairs Director and among this year’s recipients of the Hindu American Foundation’s Mahatma Ghandi Award for the Advancement of Religious Pluralism
Marci Drewry of Virginia, Director of Military Affairs, Sacred Well Congregation.
Holli Emore of North Carolina, Executive Director, Cherry Hill Seminary.
Peter Dybing, First Officer-Elect, Covenant of the Goddess

Locally, we had representatives from almost every group in the DC metro area including The Firefly House, Coven of the Spiral Moon, Reflections Mystery School, Spiral Ground, Northern Virginia Pagan Network, Ecumenicon Fellowship and more!

I had the honor of being able to assist Patrick McCollum through the day, who is one of the most hard-working, inspiring men I've ever met. I also had the chance to get to know Peter Dybing from Covenant of the Goddess, who shared stories of the important and powerful work he's doing for them as First Officer-Elect.

Below I've included photos and video from the event. Though the video is cut short, you can also watch more full-length versions on Usteam.
