Lost pastors

By Vera L. Steiner Goshen, Ind.

Thank you, Ardie Goering, for your caring, informative column, “Former Pastors Who Are Gay.”

I have known both John Linscheid and Keith Schrag. They are men whom the Mennonite church has lost as pastors, to our detriment. I am becoming more hopeful, however, that someday (maybe in my lifetime!) we will really welcome all into our churches.
