In the fall of my sophomore year at SUNY New Paltz, Professor Brett Barry assigned an audio-story project in his Digital Storytelling class, my first time working with audio and editing. I chose to interview Pastor Tobias Anderson of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in New Paltz. I chose Pastor Tobias because of his liberal approach to Christianity, his navigation with his sexuality alongside his journey of faith makes his story worth listening to. In the introduction, church attendee Therese Path briefly shares her first meeting with Pastor Tobias and the church.  The music was recorded directly from the Sunday service on September 22nd, 2024, with singing from Pastor Tobias himself and the rest of the attendees that morning.
