A Covenant Sub Commander Who Became a Rear Admiral and More

Stan Anderson lives with his lovely Russian wife Lora at Covenant Village in Golden Valley, MN. Both are long-time Covenanters. He grew up at Salem and met her through the old First Covenant Church in San Francisco. Through a lifetime together, mainly in military service, they both have served and led in remarkable ways. Stan's story, captured live in our home this very day, as well as his spirit and character, have been and continue to be deeply influenced by the Pietism out of which the Covenant emerged in 1885, the profound stamp of which continues remarkably to this day.

Careful listening to his story will impress you not only with his spirit and Christian commitment but with his native intelligence and considerable achievements as well. And with a tinge of humor supported by deep respect and feeling he credits Lora with both the love and much-needed support that has followed his every move up the scale in vocational service.

We have so much to learn from so many, and we need to be gathering these stories for posterity. Listen and be blessed by this brilliant, mild-mannered man of faith. Then take my cue and go out to interview someone you don't yet know yourself. You'll be amazed, as I constantly am, by the fascinating life stories that are out there.
