That's Our Susan!

Susan Russell was recently chosen by the LA Gay and Lesbian Center to be the recipient of the L.A.C.E. Award (Lesbians and bisexual women Active in Community Empowerment):

Spirituality Award
A parish priest at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena and an outspoken critic of the religious right, Susan Russell travels around the county to lobby for LGBT inclusion in the church. Russell is the president of Integrity USA, a nonprofit organization for LGBT Episcopalians and their supporters, and she is a member of the Human Rights Campaign’s Religion Council. She and her partner—who wed in a ceremony at All Saints—collaborated on Voices of Witness, a documentary about LGBT people in the church. She blogs about her work at http://inchatatime.blogspot.com/.
Here is the video presented at the Awards dinner:



Congratulations, Susan!
