Stole Text

This stole is presented anonymously in honor of all those ELCA pastors, like myself, who are forced to serve in silence. We are denied our full identity and whole personhood in the church yet we are compelled to respond to God’s call to ordained ministry. We are those who cannot not serve. I suspect that our call implies a certain visible presence of the Gospel truth for ALL people.
