All who are led by the spirit of God are children of God - Romans 8:14

Elder Nancy Krody

This stole honoring Nancy Krody, an ordained Elder, is one of twelve stoles given to the Shower of Stoles collection by Tabernacle United Church in Philadelphia.  All twelve stoles are similar in size and style.  The three signature stoles are white and the nine individual stoles are purple; most have matching pastel flannel binding on the ends of the panels. 

Tabernacle United Church, United Church of Christ and Presbyterian union church located adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania campus, has a long history of activism, from its community organizing and support of a school for Black children in the mid-1800's to its more recent history of sanctuary in support of Central American refugees, peace activism, and outspoken advocacy on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.  Tabernacle is both a More Light and Open and Affirming congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT people in the life and leadership of the church.
