Abstract: Secular media tune in to ordination extra ordinem and installation.

Ordinations extra ordinem and installations of ECP pastors never fail to be exciting for the people who are directly involved, but it's always a bit of a shock when these occasions become "news events" in the secular media. And yes, we were surprised to see film from the June 17 installation of Pr. Dawn Roginski at St. Francis (SF) on the evening news. A Bay Area television station (KTVU (a FOX Network affiliate) reported the event with the headline "DEFIANT CONGREGATION: SF Lutheran Church Ordains Lesbian Pastor". Television coverage included short interviews with Pr. Roginksi, Pr. Robert Goldstein, and Pr. Ruth Frost. The KTVU video clip is also available on YouTube.com. Pr. Roginski's ordination was also featured in The Advocate.
