Episcopal Divinity School

This evening’s Honoring Ceremony of Ruby Nell Sales ‘98 and "Passing of the Torch" Commissioning is a historic event and sacred invitation for generations of leaders to come together to commit to the building of social justice movements for today that reclaim our humanity and restore our relationships with God, each other, and all of creation.

We honor the work of Dr. Ruby Sales '98, whose life's calling has been that of a Freedom Fighter and nurturer of intergenerational community and human compassion.

This service is an intentional act of holy remembering and sacred transmission. The ceremony will feature a formal commissioning ritual, in which the Very Rev. Lydia Kelsey Bucklin, President and Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, will invite leaders of every generation to carry the freedom flame of Dr. Ruby Nell Sales and her fellow Freedom Fighters, as we commit to working for justice across the country.

Join us live now.
