THE REV. TAMMY LINDAHL
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (USA)
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Born on a dairy farm in central Minnesota, I found a home in the Presbyterian Church. It is in the church that my faith was nurtured and challenged. It was there that I learned about love, care, peace and integrity.
I was ordained as an elder at age 21, and served as Sunday School Superintendent and youth group advisor. After graduating from McCormick Seminary I was called to rural ministry. Ordained in 1986, I have served five small rural parishes.
In 1994, affirming who I am as a lesbian, I "came out" on the floor of Heartland Presbytery.
I pray for the day when God's Spirit will move the church to the full acceptance of gays and lesbians in the church.
Vindicate me, O God, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trust in God without wavering.
Psalm 26:1

Contribution Story
Tammy's partner, Martha Juillerat, was the founder of the Shower of Stoles Project.
Tammy has subsequently been able to return to her call to parish ministry. On May 27, 2018, she was officially transferred into the United Church of Canada. She is now serving as a minister in Bella Coola, Canada.
This stole was one of the original 80 stoles that were on display on Sept. 16, 1995 when Shower of Stoles Project founder Martha Juillerat set aside her ordination before Heartland Presbytery (see Stole #1 for details).
