Stole Text

FEAR = SILENCE = DEATH

A PRAYER FOR ALL SEMINARIANS WHO FEEL THEY MUST REMAIN CLOSETED IN ORDER TO BRING THEIR GIFTS TO THE CHURCH.

Contribution Story

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).

 

Katie Morrison made this stole when she, herself, was a seminarian at San Francisco Theological Seminary.
