Stole Text
In recent decades, many thousands in Lutheran Campus Ministry and in the Lutheran Student Movement on many campuses have faithfully reflected on the situation of homosexuals in church and society and have sought justice on their behalf.
We have grown to know many committed Christian students, faculty, lay staff, and clergy who are gay or lesbian.

It is difficult for the church as an institution to take first steps. There was a long time when Lutheran women could not be ordained. The first to be ordained is a dear friend of ours, Elizabeth Platz, Campus Pastor at the University of Maryland.
This stole was originally given to Ted by Beth as a symbol of gratitude. We now pass it on in hope another first will occur.
Now is the time for the ELCA to also ordain those gay and lesbian people who live in livelong committed partnerships.
In peace and joy,
Nan Fritschel & Campus Pastor Ted Fritschel
