Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

Dillon, CO

From 2007 until May 2008, the Yak and Yarn folks at Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Dillon, Colorado created 230 of these stoles to be distributed at the 2008 Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly in Denver. Three large baskets containing the knitted or crocheted stoles were placed near the Shower of Stoles exhibit in the main exhibition area, and assembly attendees were encouraged to take a wear a stole as a show of support. It was encouraging to look across the assembly room and see so many delegates and visitors wearing their stole. As the assembly ended, all the stoles had been claimed, a few even by hotel employees who were intrigued by this quiet and visible mark of support for LGBT clergy and congregational staff members.
