In the last of their PROUD VOICES series for Pride 2017, The Village Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) will welcome Rabbi Elli Tikvah to their pulpit on Sunday August 27 at 6pm. Rabbi Elizabeth Tikvah Sarah of the Brighton & Hove Progressive Synagogue describes themselves as a Trouble Making Feminist Lesbian Gender-Queer Rabbi. The first ordained lesbian Rabbi to lead a mainstream synagogue in Britain, Elli has quite a story to tell about claiming a place in the world, with pride.
