Contribution Story

SSPC is a More Light congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons into the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  This stole was given to us in advance of the 1996 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

 (Note: A signature stole is one that is covered with the signatures of both gay and straight members of a congregation, denominational governing body, or other organization.  These stoles serve the dual purpose of showing support for LGBT persons, while also protecting their anonymity by including their names as "one among many".)
