Stole Text

Dr. Sara Jane Little
Deacon and Elder,
Presbyterian Church

Sara earned a Doctorate in Human Growth and Development at the University of Maryland and has served as a school psychologist for over 25 years. After her brother Jim’s death, she entered Wesley Theological Seminary and earned a Master of Theological Studies. Sara has served as a Deacon and Elder in the Presbyterian Church. She did not pursue ordination as a Minister due to the hostile climate in the Presbyterian Church toward gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons. Sara is a warm and gentle spirit, full of enthusiasm and good works. She still seeks new and challenging ways to serve God’s call to her.

Contribution Story

A Mother's Labor of Love


This and stole #963 are to be displayed together.  They were made by 92-year old Aletha Little, a life-long Presbyterian, in loving memory of her son, The Rev. Jim David Little, and in honor of her daughter, Dr. Sara Jane Little.

Both Jim and Sara graduated from Austin College, Texas in the 1960’s.

The Presbyterian Church has lost the ordination talents of both these wonderful individuals due to its current policy against ordination of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender persons.
