Reverend Wylard “Wowa” Ledama, 28, was consecrated as deacon by IFI Supreme Bishop Rhee Timbang before a diverse congregation composed of family, clergy, the laity, advocates, and representatives from other Christian churches.
The IFI first ordained women to the priesthood in 1997. In 2019, the church ordained its first woman bishop, the Right Reverend Emelyn Dacuycuy.
In her sermon, Kakay Pamaran of the Union Theological Seminary and the LGBTQI+-affirming Metropolitan Community Church called Ledama’s ordination as a “historical” and “revolutionary” act by the IFI. “The IFI transfigures and bids us to wake up, to look, and to see the light that is in all of us…and all of creation,” she said.
