Ruth Bruland

I have a stole in this collection because I have a dear friend who has kept insisting to me that the Church can make true and whole public declaration of the Gospel for which no apology needs to be made, and that the yokes these stoles represent were intentionally placed on the shoulders of gay and lesbian children of God by God because who is to say why things happen the way they do. What we are to say is the Gospel. Thanks be to God.

Ruth Bruland, formerly Grand Canyon Synod

Originally a part of the collection of stoles housed by ReconcilingWorks (formerly known as Lutherans Concerned), this stole was donated by them to the Shower of Stoles Project in 2015
