LADY LIBERTY LEAGUE CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF PAGAN RIGHTS ENDEAVORS
On Wednesday, September 15, 2010, Lady Liberty League will be celebrating
its 25th Anniversary with a reception in Washington, DC.
The reception is free and open to the public.
It will be held from 7-9 pm at the Universalist National Memorial Church,
1810 16th Street Northwest, Washington, DC
National and regional Pagan Rights activists, spiritual leaders, and
practitioners of many traditions will be taking part in this interfaith
celebration. Participants include those from Washington, DC, Virginia,
Maryland, North Carolina, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, US
Virgin Islands, and elsewhere.
Founded in 1985, Lady Liberty League (LLL) is a national and global Pagan
civil rights and religious freedom organization. LLL is coordinated by
Circle Sanctuary, an Ecospirituality center and Shamanic Wiccan church that
has been serving Pagans worldwide since 1974.
This special evening includes networking, refreshments, and remarks by
Selena Fox of Wisconsin, Lady Liberty League's Founder and Executive
Director, and 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.
The evening will include an overview of the history and accomplishments of
Lady Liberty League, including its origins in September 1985 in the
networking that defeated federal anti-Wiccan legislation.
Lady Liberty League activists and Circle Sanctuary ministers from across the
country will be helping with the reception.
Among the national Pagan leaders already planning to take part in the
reception include Marci Drewry of Virginia, Director of Military Affairs,
Sacred Well Congregation; Holli Emore of North Carolina, Executive Director,
Cherry Hill Seminary; and Peter Dybing, First Officer-Elect, Covenant of the
Goddess.
The site is on the bus line and is a short walk from the Dupont Circle Metro
station. Free parking has been arranged in the Masonic Library parking lot
across the street.
The LLL Reception is being produced by Lady Liberty League, with the
sponsorship support of a variety of national and Washington, DC metropolitan
area Pagan churches, organizations and businesses.
