Autorenporträt

Ruth Frost inspires people to create homes that tell their stories. Living in San Francisco during the twin epidemics of AIDS and homelessness, she worked closely with people disenfranchised from home and family. Her church community became a refuge of welcome, safety, and belonging, key characteristics of home. Ruth helped develop a grassroots national advocacy movement for the rights and visibility of LGBTQ people in the wider Lutheran Church. In recognition of her work, she received "A Leading Voice" award from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry, Berkeley, CA. She is also a stained glass artisan who has created lamps and windows for homes and churches. After leaving parish ministry for hospice chaplaincy, Ruth settled into the quieter side of soul care, accompanying patients as they prepared to leave home to "go home" and helping them record their life stories and celebrate the love they would leave behind. Now retired and living in Minneapolis, Ruth enjoys time with family as well as leading workshops and retreats on creating "Homes with Heart" and "Families of the Heart."
