For All of Those Persons…

The story behind my stole is one for all of those persons who began their spiritual journey with ministry inside the church as a goal, only to find that this very journey brought them home to themselves, allowing truth to stand up against institutionalized dogma. This stole was made in honor of all those who have found themselves, and now courageously live their Christ light in their world, ministering to ALL of God’s people, whether they belong to a church or not. It is a stole honoring the full spectrum of God’s creation, unlike the church seems able to do fully at this time. I pray that it will give hope of the wholeness of all, through the strands of time. We will be healed.

Originally a part of the collection of stoles housed by ReconcilingWorks: Lutherans for Full Participation, this stole was donated by them to the Shower of Stoles Project in 2015.
