Eve Pitts

Eve Pitts (née Sewell) is a British priest who was the first black woman to be ordained as a vicar in the Church of England.

Pitts was born in Jamaica and her parents, Kathleen and Stanley Sewell, moved to England in 1956.

As a consequence, Pitts began ministry in a community hall and was then offered a new parish at Immanuel church in Highter's Heath in mid-1998.

Among other things, Pitts and the congregation raised substantial amounts of money needed for repairs to the church building.

[6][4][1] In 2010 she moved to Holy Trinity church in the inner city parish of Birchfield, in the Birmingham diocese.

We will not be able to fly without a clear understanding of who we are, warts and all, and of the slave trade.Since 2015 she has held a series of commemorative services for remembrance of ancestors on the third Sunday in September.
