Member of Downtown United Presbyterian Church, Rochester NY Stole Text From a Member of Downtown United Presbyterian Church Rochester, New York Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1996 Contribution Story This is one of about two dozen stoles donated by members of DUPC in early 1996. Most of the stoles arrived without names or narratives. However, we have been told that most of the donors are "out" LGBT persons, unnamed but not necessarily anonymous. DUPC was at the center of a pivotal moment in the history of the Welcoming movement in the Presbyterian Church. In 1978 the General Assembly acted to bar the ordination of "self-avowed, practicing homosexuals." However, an exception was added to the action which exempted those ordained before 1978 from future judicial action. This clause allowed DUPC in 1991 to call the Rev. Dr. Jane Adams Spahr to become a co-pastor of the church; Janie had been ordained prior to 1978. However, the church broke its trust and in 1991 the denomination's highest judicial body barred Janie from being installed. In response, DUPC called Janie to be an "Evangelist," and formed That All May Freely Serve to allow Janie to preach, educate and challenge church structures at DUPC and throughout the country.

Anonymous (Added, anonymously, to a line of stoles at a display in Portland, OR) Stole Text MORE LIGHT MORE LOVE SCOTT Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1997 Contribution Story Anonymous stoles found their way to us over the years by many means: left on a chair, passed through a third party, sent to us without a return address, or put in a box with other stoles being returned from a display. On three occasions, someone found a way, carefully and quietly, to rearrange stoles that had already been hung on a line at a display, adding theirs to it without being seen. We would discover the stole when we began to take down the display. Scott's stole was found this way. It was added to a display at a conference of the More Light Churches Network at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR in 1997. No note was left with the stole. It is identified only by the name "Scott" written on it. We assume from the reference to More Light, and its addition at this particular conference, that Scott must be Presbyterian. We have never learned anything else about him.

Anthony Hewitt Stole Text FOR ANTHONY HEWITT From Rev. George Edwards and family, Louisville, Kentucky This stole is offered in memory of our beautiful "adopted" son, Anthony Hewitt, who died of AIDS in January 1990 at the age of 44. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1999 Contribution Story The Rev. Dr. George Edwards is Professor Emeritus of New Testament from Louisville Theological Seminary, where he taught for 27 years. A tireless worker for social justice, George taught his students to integrate their faith and academic studies with action on behalf of those in need. In 1984 he authored Gay/Lesbian Liberation: A Biblical Perspective, which became a standard text in the field. Louisville Seminary honored George and his wife, Jean for their long efforts for peace and social justice by establishing the Edwards Peacemaking Lectureship to support a visiting lecturer on campus and other related programs. As the stole states, Anthony Hewitt was a dear friend who had been "adopted" into the Edwards family. His death was a huge loss for them.
