MINISTER OF WORD AND SACRAMENT WHO IS LESBIAN, SERVING A CONGREGATION IN THE SYNOD OF MID-AMERICA

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).  The Synod of Mid-America is a regional judicatory in the Presbyterian Church (USA) encompassing six presbyteries across Missouri, Kansas, and a small part of Illinois in the St. Louis metro area.

Ann Diebert gave us no further information about this anonymous minister.
