All are welcome for the unveiling of the newly placed portrait of Dr. Florence Pert. Join us downstairs for this short time of remembering her legacy.
In 1973, Dr. Peale named Florence Director of Lay Activities where she created a host of activities still in place today, including Small Groups, Adult Education and Women’s Groups. She was the first woman to preach from the pulpit at Marble and in 1987, the first woman to be ordained in the Collegiate Churches of New York. Dr. Pert was Senior Associate Minister Emerita from 2002 until her death in 2008.
