EXCLUSION IS UGLY
S.A.
Contribution Story
Never let it be said that this collection is devoid of humor. An anonymous minister, identified only by the initials "S.A.," sent us a bright lime green polyester stole with an off-white wheat shaft stitched on it -- an ordination gift which recipient apparently did not find particularly tasteful. However, the minister added that the stole was the perfect vehicle for making this statement to the church: "Exclusion is Ugly!"
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).
