Stole Sample: What Presbyterian Ministers Recommend

About the list

Admittedly, this is a *very* unscientific, biased list of stole artists and sellers. But hey, you want subjectivities when it comes to art. These artists and sellers are the who’s who of my professional circle, and about two dozen Presbyterian ministers (plus one disaffected Lutheran) offered their unadulterated opinions.

Have a budget or timeframe in mind? Each seller has a general price range listed.
