Sighted at SF Pride Parade

Abstract: ELCA Bishop heads pride parade group; Iowans thrill SF crowd.

As predicted by the web site of St. Francis Lutheran (SF) The Rev. Mark Holmerud, Bishop Elect of the Sierra Pacific Synod (newly returned from Chicago and his official orientation to the duties of ELCA bishops) joined the Lutherans Concerned - San Francisco Bay Area contingent in the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade on June 29. It is believed to be the first time a ELCA bishop has participated in the event. Bishop Hoimerud and his wife Debbi rode on the back of a convertible leading a group of 45 Lutherans Concerned supporters carrying banners representing local congregations that participate in LC's Reconciling in Christ program.
A small but enthusiastic group from Iowa (in town for the July 2 LCNA Biennial Assembly) also joined the parade.
