In honor of the faithful ministries of
Ralph
and

"I will give them joy their offerings and sacrifices shall be acceptable on my altar."  Is. 56:7

O GOD
give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed
courage to change what should be changed
and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other

This stole was one of the original 80 stoles that were on display on Sept. 16, 1995 when I set aside my ordination before Heartland Presbytery (see stole #1 for details).
