Description
Summary:The Magic City Sisters are the only order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) in Alabama. On their website, the SPI describe themselves as "a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns": "We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit."
