Sonnie Swenston Stole Text SONNIE Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1995 Contribution Story This stole was one of the original 80 stoles that were on display on Sept. 16, 1995 when I set aside my ordination before Heartland Presbytery (see stole #1 for details). Measuring little more than two feet long overall, and less than two inches wide, it may very well be the smallest stole in the collection. It is a miniature symbol for a woman who is small of stature, but has has an enormous heart and spirit about her. For many years Sonnie has been active in the More Light movement, in the Lazarus Project where she was honored for her volunteer services, and in many other efforts for social justice and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender folk. Sonnie is an ordained Presbyterian elder, and has served as Clerk of Session at Baldwin Park Presbyterian Church in the Los Angeles area.

Signature Stole (St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church) Stole Text In 1993 St. Paul-Reformation Luther developed a long range plan. Among the plan’s primary goals was to call and ordain an openly gay or lesbian pastor by the year 2000. After careful and prayerful study, discussion and exploration of ways to achieve our goal, the congregation voted in December 2000 to extend a call to Anita Hill, a lesbian in a committed relationship. The congregation made this decision despite the ELCA’s prohibition against gays and lesbians in committed relationships serving as pastors. The vote was 176 to 0. And with that vote, our congregation affirmed that it could no longer, in good conscience, abide by a policy it considered unjust and at odds with the gospel. Though it is Anita who has been ordained, her ordination belongs to the entire congregation. Her witness, her willingness to stand on the front line and carry the flag on the issue of gay and lesbian ordinations has been an inspiration to us all. With our unanimous vote, we have said we will no longer simply stand behind her, but we are prepared now to stand right alongside her as the struggle for justice continues. The stole that travels in this exhibit is signed by the members of St. Paul-Reformation as a reminder that we are all on the call and ordination journey together.
