I send you an advent stole,
because I am one who waits
"in lonely exile here."
I mourn for my church
and for my sisters and brothers
who also wait in exile...
waiting for God to restore the Temple
where all may freely serve.

Contribution Story
This is the first entirely anonymous stole we received. The note included with the stole included no information other than that which is contained on the stole. No name or return address was given. In addition, the envelope's postmark was smudged, so we don't even know what part of the country it came from -- and I suspect that we never will know.
In many respects, this one stole came to represent all of the anonymous stoles in the collection. It was one that I highlighted in many of my programs.
