Contribution Story

This stole was one of the original 80 stoles that were on display on Sept. 16, 1995 when I set aside my ordination before Heartland Presbytery (see stole #1 for details).  Lorna and her partner, Holly Hearon (stole #12) submitted matching green linen stoles with their ordination date written on a long yellow ribbon.  Lorna is now Library Director and Assistant Professor of Church History at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, IN, where Holly is Assistant Professor of New Testament.
