Solidarity Stole (Gay/Lesbian Ministry Task Force – NE Pennsylvania Synod)
Stole Text
Is it not a Sin that we lay claim to our Creator’s love even as we deny some of our brothers and sisters?
How dare we call ourselves the Body of Christ when we refuse to welcome as full members some of those for whom He died?
Are we really bearers of Good News when we limit the Spirit’s movement in some of those whom she has given life?
The members of the Gay/Lesbian Ministry Task Force of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod stand in support of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. We hope and pray for the day when all God’s children share fully in the life and ministry of this Church.
