Our featured image for today is artwork done by Pastor Tara Lamont Eastman . I didn’t realize until after I made this video-blog that today has an even bigger significance because it celebrates the 40th year anniversary for female clergy of color, and 10 year anniversary for queer clergy women too. I give thank for all of the voices that are included in the ministry of the ELCA today and will continue to work for the inclusion of all.

Blessings, Pastor Joanna Mitchell
