Rev. Anita Hill
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Saint Paul, MN
This deacon’s stole was given to Anita Hill by St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church (Saint Paul, MN) in May 1994 when she was installed as “Pastoral Minister,” a term shared with Catholic women who are unable to be ordained. The Rev. Anita C. Hill retired this stole on the occasion of her “extra ordinem” service of ordination by the same congregation on April 28, 2001. Pastor Hill was officially received as a member of the clergy roster of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on September 18, 2010. Hill played a significant role in the change in policy of the ELCA to allow openly LGBT clergy who are in relationships to serve on the rosters of her denomination.
