Jemima Prasadam
(1940-), PriestSitter in 1 portrait
Born in Andhra Pradesh, in southern India, British missionaries had converted her grandfather to Christianity. She immigrated to Great Britain in 1975 to help spread the Christian message. When the Anglican Church admitted female priests for the first time in 1987, Prasadam became the first non-white woman to be ordained. She is vicar for the multi-faith and multi-racial parish of Lozells, an inner-city area widespread with unemployment and poverty in West Birmingham. An active member of the community, she delivers services, chairs meetings, visits the sick and helps to run playgroups. She firmly believes "Our mission here is to bring up our children with dignity to play their part in this community and this country."
