the church of i'ma with its ancestral hall behind the altar has only ever had male pastors but 3 years ago the congregation was faced with a choice either they took on this lesbian past a couple or the past his position would surely remain vacant for a long time. stephanie rocca became the pastor in iowa it's her final meeting with her young congregants before their confirmation time to check their shoes before last a rathke asks them to lift up their shirts and examines the saul. ok we're ok we're. ok. yeah now we got to lie this isn't always what. there's no price tag still stuck to them but now comes the hard part. the dress rehearsal for the declaration of faith starting with the ziegler twins. you also confess your faith before the congregation. i believe in god the father

the almighty creator of heaven and. the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting. life good job well done voice one last thing for the pastors to worry about that. but not everyone has learned the confession of faith that well. so pastor rocco makes an announcement. if you don't have down i'm just going to call it off tomorrow i keep telling you guys you have to know the confession of faith you're going to recite it alone in front of everyone and i'm not helping you know. the boys and girls don't care that stephanie rocker is less popular than more excited the whole the confirm and get to have a personal plate with the pastor can go wherever they want and she can't back out

as a co card is a cool thing to do. not everyone does that. outside in front of the go cart track they take a rather unusual photo to remember the date with the pastor. as well as now we know we can do anything we want with stephanie and she won't just get mad i will say no . it's right so i've never got to go karting before so that was nice and just because i'm 35 i can still keep up with the youngsters. at church how wife ellen is teaching the intern how to perform communion the size in these in woman and the apostle once were standing up front here we have to turn around and stretch out our arms and sing to the congregation.

in my house and that. is officially the pastor's wife but since she is an ordained pastor herself she voluntarily takes on some of her wife's to tease the church expects dedication from pastors spouses and partners. unders arm and is something that the 2 pastors do in their spare time only the production costs a finalist from the church's media budget i expose of it it is that in this video clip from under salmon the couple talks lightheartedly about what it would mean for them to have a polyamorous relationship that ellen writes carex planes that each person has to discover their own needs and about deafness among. the regional bishop ralph meister based in hanover is stephanie and helen rats because boss he's not a fan of and this armin. and money man is me for me well they don't make it for me

i'm not the target audience it's cool so there are a lot of things where after 3 minutes i think oh no not again this is really too silly for me now or the whole sound far anything on this long story that they're constantly telling us about no i don't need that. the. but the others do you find precisely that very interesting and that's how it is. for the posters their you tube channel is part of the per store will work including their story about trying to have a child about english that is the future for one in 5 couples can't get pregnant on their own. you and the church is silent on this topic right now. and that is the past and here's a pastor couple that has gone down that route with even of your business is we know what it's like to have

a negative pregnancy test in your hands after 2 weeks of you and having spent a lot of money on your wife this is life and remain silent even though our fellow churchgoers are going through this trial. this is its height and past her work means showing people hey you're not alone and giving them hope look we did it. to share human stories that's preaching and that's why we are doing it or i am anyway . the group is preparing for the confirmation church service one of the highlights of the year for the church and the spirit is lending a hand. the setting up the chairs tables and decorations. and i mean on this about. 3 years ago the church community and i am made a conscious choice to have a lesbian past a couple and i've never regretted saying yes to stephanie and helen rathskeller

isn't it was their wonderful pastors for the congregation it was like a rejuvenated sure and from a very conservative pastor as we were used to to a modern fresh completely new approach we had packed service from the very beginning and i thought what's going on here we'll have to build an extension soon but once they've been. within thing on and off on a 5 by monday night working together they put the final pieces in place a small stage area in front of the altar and i walk. back. and then the confirmation church service marathon get started with one group after the other 2 to covert restrictions. this is even a twins of the last ones up.

so you said yes to our church to your cock and saying yes means to everything i said and that includes communion so it is great we can celebrate together now this is my life choice to give my said this is my body given for you do this in remembrance of me this. is hiding from co not can call the times we can't shake hands but we can do this. i was either side you get your gift that went to your brother and you give me the other. jesus christ spoke and the light of the world wherever follows me will not back in darkness will half the light of life. and so go in the place of from the lord the same and. you spent a week in the little village and no one had a negative thing to say even off the record. and i remember when i was young and

a bit later still when you had to hide it and i think it's great how things have turned out it's. funny how she interacts with the congregation takes the church some of it will. sometimes think. yes she's friendly likeable and reaches out to people like her. fans here and a you tube channel is really taking off as well they recently won 2nd place in the smart hero award from facebook and 10000 viewers. in the video reacting to the award stephanie in evolution how ecstatic they all to have one night and say they are overwhelmed while the media and personal attention they've received. one of the well wishes is the regional bishop he sends his congratulations via twitter i think graduations to understand congratulations to shafiq and ellen aka you're doing great work keep it up.

and there's armand is an all around success but there's still work to do. it out this year and i think the best thing we could achieve is to no longer be different press to just be us in the church and in the world. and maybe we'll have a channel for seniors about in contents or whatever hops are no one is different i'm more i'm not. so much. i'm stephanie i'm ellen rocca so they may just keep on running their you tube channel until the old and growing themselves all of them.
