Brad Shuttler Stole Text In Memory of Loving Friend Brad Shuttler -- Gayla Goehl Washington Square UMC Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story Washington Square has long been a place of welcome to New York's LGBT community. The Rev. Paul M. Abels, Washington's Square's pastor from 1973-1984, was the first openly gay installed parish minister in a major Christian denomination. The church was also home to the Harvey Milk School of lesbian and gay youth and the Gay Men's Health Crisis Center. Known as the "Peace Church" due to its antiwar activism during the Vietnam War, Washington Square hosted dozens of other activist groups over the years, from the Black Panthers to community housing development organizations and a variety of dance, theater and music groups. In 2004, the congregation decided that renting space for worship and other programs would be a better use of their resources than maintaining their church and the parsonage, two old and decaying landmarks. The buildings have since been sold, and Washington Square has merged with Church of All Nations and Metropolitan-Duane United Methodist Churches. This stole was given to us in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH. Members of Washington Square joined with Park Slope Methodist Church to contribute 35 stoles for display in Cleveland. Washington Square's four stoles and Park Slope's thirty one are identically sized pieces made from turquoise, lavender and purple cotton batik. In addition to his own stole, James Wesley also made one in honor of Chad Miller from Washington Square (stole #680). In 1999, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) inquired about the possibility of having a display of the Shower of Stoles at the General Conference the following April. At the time, there were only around twenty United Methodist stoles in the collection. We decided to introduce the Shower of Stoles to the Reconciling community by bringing the twenty UM stoles and about a hundred others to RMN’s Convocation in Denton, TX over the Labor Day weekend. Stoles started to trickle in during the fall, and by February they began coming in droves. In all, we received 220 United Methodist stoles – the vast majority of them arriving within eight weeks of the Conference. Thanks to a monumental effort by a number of volunteers who pitched in to help record, inventory, sew labels and make last-minute repairs, all of the new stoles were present in Cleveland. Twenty more people brought stoles directly to Cleveland, bringing the total number on display to 240. Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles.” In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.

Brent Bissette Stole Text Brent Bissette July 30, 1989 I have called you You are mine Dear PCUSA friends, My name is Brent Bissette. My family consists of myself, my partner Richard Lewis (an ordained Presbyterian elder), and my five year-old daughter Abigail. We live in Cary, NC. I was born August 21, 1962, baptized six weeks later, and many years later, ordained to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament on July 30, 1989. I served faithfully as co-pastor of the Calypso (NC) Presbyterian Church for over four years. When I chose to "come out" to the Committee on Ministry of my Presbytery (Coastal Carolina), it withdrew it's support of my call to serve as a parish pastor within its bounds. I now work in a painted furniture shop, and look feverishly for ways to use my gifts for ministry. Not only have I been cut off from pursuing my calling "unhindered", but I lost the primary avenue I had for the economic sustenance of myself and my family. The fear and prejudice I have experienced from the Church since my "coming out" has caused me deep pain. Were it not for the joyful acceptance of my local church family, I could not have made it this far. We attend the Church of Reconciliation in Chapel Hill, North Carolina's only More Light Congregation, where I have experienced the Good News of the Gospel once again. This stole was made by Liz Evans, an elder in that congregation. She came to me and volunteered for the project saying, "Your story and those like it must be told!" So we set to work. The shell is an early Christian symbol of baptism, in which all our ministry is rooted. The rainbow represents the permanence and inclusiveness of God's love. That inclusive love is further symbolized by the material of the stole itself which was woven across the far reaches of the globe in Central America and Africa. The words come from Isaiah's Servant Songs and proclaim God's call to service of those who belong to God. On the back is the More Light Network logo, which takes the Nazi pink triangle, a symbol of derision and hate toward gay and lesbian persons, and places it upon the Cross, the greatest symbol of redemption in the Christian tradition. My name and ordination date are found there as well in the redemptive shadow of the cross. As I offer Liz's stole to God -- to the Church -- to you, I offer you words from the most reflective theologian of our household, my daughter Abi. One morning as we were planting flowers together on the deck, Abi paused from her digging and looked up at Rich and me. "Dad," she said, "you know, every flower is a little bit different, but they are all beautiful." Then there was quiet as Rich and I dared not break what felt like a hallowed silence. "And you know," she continued with all the assurance of a five year-old, "I think God loves them all!" Sounds like the Gospel to me! Your kingdom come, O Lord, on earth, even as it is in heaven. Amen. P.S. The More Light button pinned below the rainbow is offered by my partner, Rich, on behalf of all those gay and lesbian elders who faithfully serve our denomination. Shalom, Brent 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). Founded in 1967 with a commitment to racial reconciliation, inclusiveness and hospitality, the Church of Reconciliation is the only More Light congregation in North Carolina, working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people into the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church. As the lone voice for the More Light movement in the Carolinas, the Church of Reconciliation has become a place of welcome for many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith who were exiled from their home churches or who, like Brent, were forced to abandon their careers in the ministry. Along with Brent's beautifully crafted stole, CoR donated a Signature Stole as well (stole #59). Since sending these stoles for inclusion in that very first display in 1995, CoR has arranged to have a small display of stoles at every single meeting of New Hope Presbytery for the past eleven years, often including Brent's stole.

Text Any textual data included in the document Brian McNaught is an award-winning writer and an internationally acclaimed corporate diversity trainer. His five books in print are used as college texts. He speaks globally to senior managers on gay and transgender issues. Brian is the middle child of seven Irish Catholics, born in Detroit, and raised in Flint, Grand Blanc, and Birmingham, Michigan. He is the product of sixteen years of Catholic education, having graduated from Brother Rice High School in Birmingham and Marquette University in Milwaukee. Wisconsin. His degree is in journalism. Brian was an altar boy, patrol boy, and Boy Scout. He studied briefly as a postulant with the Christian Brothers of Ireland. As a conscientious objector to the war in Vietnam, Brian began his alternative service in 1970 at The Michigan Catholic, weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Detroit. He worked there as a reporter, columnist, and as an occasional television talk show host. His popular, award-winning, youth-oriented column prompted speaking engagements at local Catholic high schools. When he came out in 1974 after founding the Detroit chapter of Dignity, the organization of gay Catholics, his column was immediately dropped by the newspaper. This resulted in a nationally-covered civil rights battle during which Brian engaged in a hunger fast to call attention to the plight of gay Catholics. The water fast ended after seventeen days when two bishops in Detroit publicly pledged to work to educate the clergy on gay issues. “…we have a serious obligation to root out structures and attitudes that discriminate against the homosexual as a person,” Bishops Thomas Gumbleton and Joseph Imesch wrote in a letter to Brian. Yet, he was nevertheless fired by the newspaper for his public protest. A twelve-year syndicated column in the gay press led to the publication by Dignity Inc. of Brian’s first book, A Disturbed Peace - Selected Writings of an Irish Catholic Homosexual. This early primer on reconciling sexual orientation and spirituality became a popular coming out book, and evolved into On Being Gay, (St. Martin’s Press) which is still in print and is used as a college text. Both titles contain the essay, “The Sad Dilemma of the Gay Catholic,” which won “Best Magazine Article of the Year” from the Catholic Press Association. The newer edition includes “Dear Anita, Late Night Thoughts of an Irish Catholic Homosexual.” This open letter to the well-known leader of the anti-gay movement in the late 1970s prompted a television debate between Brian and Anita Bryant Ministries in 1978. In 1976, Brian moved from Detroit to Boston where he joined the national office of Dignity and served as the organization’s director of social action. In that capacity, he represented gay Catholics at the historic Call to Action Conference, a bicentennial hearing of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on social justice. He successfully lobbied there for passage by the 1300 delegates of a variety of pro-gay measures that were later dismissed by the bishops. In 1982, Brian was hired as the Mayor of Boston’s liaison to the gay and lesbian community. In that capacity, he initiated and coordinated the city’s response to the AIDS epidemic, conducted a citywide study of LGBT citizens needs, and trained police, health, and other service providers. He served in that groundbreaking position for two years. Named “The godfather of gay sensitivity training” by The New York Times, Brian is now considered the world’s leading corporate diversity consultant dealing with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues in the workplace. Certified as a sexuality educator, he has addressed hundreds of corporate and university audiences throughout North American, Europe, and Asia. Brian is the author of six books, including Gay Issues in the Workplace and Now That I’m Out, What Do I Do? (St. Martin’s Press,) “Sex Camp,” and “Are You Guys Brothers?” (Author House.) He is featured in seven educational videos/DVDs, three of which have been aired regularly by PBS stations. His most recent training film is “Anyone can be an Ally: Speaking Up for an LGBT Inclusive Workplace.” All of the DVDs are used extensively in corporations, schools, and other professional settings. In 2012, Out and Equal Workplace Advocates gave Brian a lifetime achievement award for his pioneering work as an educator on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.

Brian Sadler Stole Text Brian Sadler Community of Christ They say that I am unique and that mine is an important story that needs to be told. That it would be simple to put it into writing. That has not been my experience as I have struggled with this request. What makes it extra hard for me is knowing that I am not unique or euphonious. It is a story that has, sad to say, been repeated by many others before, much more eloquently. It is easy to pass as fitting-in, being part of a church, crowd, or groups, but being out and being the “other” in the society at large is an eye-opening experience that somehow transcends words. Becoming aware of how different and unimportant I am to the church, suddenly I feel invisible. I find myself becoming “hetero-phobic” (irrationally fearful of heterosexuals). It hurts so deep that I am not sure I can get beyond it. Brian was called to the office of Teach in the Community of Christ in 1989 and served in his home congregation until he stopped attending.

Title A name given to the resource Shower of Stoles Description An account of the resource Items (stoles) for the Shower of Stoles exhibit Stole A stole in the Shower of Stoles exhibit Honoree The person honored by the creation of thestole. Brother of Rev. Tom Tucker Stole Text Celebrating 30 years of ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church, this stole is presented by Rev. R. Tom Tucker, Pacific Northwest Conference, in honor of my brother who, as a gay and gifted man, left the church to use his talents in another denomination which for the same 30 years has welcomed him and has benefited from his voice and music. Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This stole was given to us in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH. In 1999, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) inquired about the possibility of having a display of the Shower of Stoles at the General Conference the following April. At the time, there were only around twenty United Methodist stoles in the collection. We decided to introduce the Shower of Stoles to the Reconciling community by bringing the twenty UM stoles and about a hundred others to RMN’s Convocation in Denton, TX over the Labor Day weekend. Stoles started to trickle in during the fall, and by February they began coming in droves. In all, we received 220 United Methodist stoles – the vast majority of them arriving within eight weeks of the Conference. Thanks to a monumental effort by a number of volunteers who pitched in to help record, inventory, sew labels and make last-minute repairs, all of the new stoles were present in Cleveland. Twenty more people brought stoles directly to Cleveland, bringing the total number on display to 240. Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles”. In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.
