What is an Installation?
An installation is a rite practiced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and other Christian traditions where a pastor is publicly placed into their role in a specific congregation. While ordination happens only once in a pastor's ministry, an installation happens each time they begin serving in a new congregation or role. At this event, the Bishop of the Oregon Synod of the ELCA will install Alison as pastor at Salt and Light Lutheran Church. All are welcome to attend the Lutheran installation rite.
Also at this event, the broader Leaven Community will “install” Alison as their Director-Organizer through a commitment ceremony and ritual blessing hosted by the community. The Planning Team is taking care to ensure that many of the varied voices in our community are represented. Please join us!
*Clergy are invited to vest for the installation rite. The liturgical color for the installation will be red.*
