Take Action to Support Ruth Kolpack

Posted by Kate Ward on March 28, 2009

Supporters of Ruth Kolpack, the Madison, WI pastoral associate who was fired by her bishop because she would not renounce her masters’ thesis on inclusive language, have started an online petition that wil be delivered to the bishop on April 3rd. Please sign the petition and spread the good word.

An timely NCR article about another diocese, Minneapolis-St. Paul, that follows a just employment policy of termination for cause–i.e. not at will or whim.

Previous coverage of Ruth Kolpack’s story at this blog and at NCR.
