THOSE WHO ARE IN SOLIDARITY
FROM COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
SAN FRANCISCO CA

Contribution Story

Covenant Presbyterian is a predominantly Chinese congregation in San Francisco.  Names of church members are signed in both English and Chinese characters.

(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".)
