Show Notes

In this podcast episode, we are continuing our series on "Women of First." Tune in to meet  The Rt. Rev. Diana D. Akiyama. The Rt. Rev. Diana D. Akiyama was the first Japanese-American woman ordained to the Episcopal priesthood, and she is the first Asian-American woman consecrated bishop in The Episcopal Church. Additionally, she is the first bishop to be consecrated at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in over a century. A trailblazer for sure. Join the conversation with Dr. Meeks and host, Chelsi Glascoe, as we learn and glean from Rev. Diana's brave journey.
