Poem | For All the Faithful Women

Priscilla and Aquila--
Who worked along with Paul,
They shared and spread the message
That Christ is Lord of all.
As we too toil together
Our voice join as one
To offer our thanksgiving
To Father, Spirit Son.

This additional hymn verse was written for the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Women's Ordination in the ELCA predecessor bodies.  It was first sung in chapel on Nov. 18, 2010 at Trinity Lutheran Seminary.
