Chuck Collins Stole Text CHUCK COLLINS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (USA) Bettendorf, Iowa This stole was made for Chuck Collins by his wife, Becky Miller, for his ordination by Des Moines Presbytery in 1979. Chuck served First Presbyterian Church, Sioux Falls as Minister of Christian Education before coming out and moving to Rochester, New York. After years of teaching and working in industry, Chuck sought and was granted permission by South Dakota Presbytery to seek a call, but was unsuccessful in his search. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1995 Contribution Story In 1995, Chuck submitted a purple Advent stole to the Shower of Stoles Project with the letters INRI embroidered on it in gold. The original stole had only his name on it, with no narrative. In March, 2005 Chuck asked us to replace the original stole with a new one. This second stole, a green one, had special meaning for Chuck, having been made by his wife for the occasion of his ordination to the Presbyterian ministry. After coming out and leaving the ministry, Chuck moved to Rochester, NY and joined Downtown United Presbyterian Church. DUPC is a More Light congregation and home of That All May Freely Serve, two organizations working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church (USA). There he found a place of welcome and strong support, which over the years gave him the inner strength and spiritual clarity to pursue his call to ministry anew. After much struggle, his home presbytery in South Dakota eventually granted Chuck permission to seek a call, allowing him to apply for ministerial positions. As an openly gay man, however, he was never able to find a church that would consider him. Chuck remains committed to his call and to the church, and I suspect that his three-decade long search will never be completely over.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Rev. Charles Lewis was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1931. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, leaving to spend two years in the U.S. Army from 1953-1955. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Chicago Lutheran Theological Seminary in Maywood, Illinois. During seminary, he served as an intern with the Luther League of America and subsequently was elected to the staff as an Associate Secretary of that youth service agency. During a period of denominational merger, Lewis left the national church staff position to become the assistant pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1961. He resigned that position in 1963 and was assigned by the Lutheran Board of American Missions to develop a mission congregation in the North Beach area of San Francisco. The appearance of a Life magazine article about the Jumping Frog, a gay bar in San Francisco, prompted Lewis’ supervisor to suggest that he explore this ministry area further because the church had no relationships with homosexuals. Lewis arrived in San Francisco in early 1964 and initiated the North Beach Mission. Around this time, an ecumenical group of urban ministers in San Francisco, led by Bill Grace (Presbyterian) and Bill Black (Lutheran), were completing a study of services available to city residents during nighttime hours. Their conclusions that few such public services were available led to the formation of the Night Ministry. A pilot program, supported by seven denominational groups, was developed in 1963 and the Night Ministry was officially launched in the fall of 1964. Developing relationships with young homosexuals was a key element of this crisis ministry. Lewis became a part-time assistant to the first Night Minister, Don Stuart (United Church of Christ). After 12 years of part-time service, Lewis became the full-time Night Minister in 1976. Also in 1964, an early summer retreat, convened by the Rev. Ted McIlvenna (United Methodist) from the Glide Foundation Young Adult Project, brought together an ecumenical group of clergy and gay/lesbian persons for dialogue. Out of this retreat the Council on Religion and the Homosexual (CRH) was organized. Although he was not present at the initial retreat, Lewis was asked to be a clergy representative on the constituting board of this organization and served on the board for 10 years. As one of the early leaders of CRH, Lewis was present at the Mardi Gras Ball at California Hall on January 1, 1965. The blatant police harassment of the homosexual participants in this gala event that was a benefit for CRH led Lewis and other CRH clergy to hold a press conference the following morning to express their outrage at the police and city officials. The widespread media coverage of their press conference and other reactions to this incident spurred the development of the gay and lesbian rights movement in the San Francisco Bay area. Lewis organized the San Francisco chapter of Lutherans Concerned at the North Beach Mission in 1974. Lewis was one of the more than 40 clergy who ordained openly gay and lesbian Lutheran ministerial candidates Jeff Johnson, Ruth Frost and Phyllis Zillhart in 1990.

Text Any textual data included in the document New Orleans Faces Large Damage Suits The City Council reportedly has been warned by city officials that lawsuits growing out of four major tragedies could cost New Orleans hundreds of thousands of dollars. The city faces lawsuits from the Bourbon Street Mall disaster, the Rault Center fire, the Downtown Howard Johnson’s sniper incident and the Upstairs Lounge fire. Mayor Moon Landrieu, Chief Administrative Officer Richard Kernion and city attorneys met in secret session with councilmen Dec. 23 to alert them to the situation, the Times-Picayune reported Saturday. Altogether, New Orleans is named as a defendant in about 50 individual suits and could be liable for all or part of $73.4 million, the report said. City officials were unavailable for comment. The newspaper said city officials are most concerned about the Bourdon Street incident of April 1972, in which a car fleeing from police roared down a pedestrian mall, killing one person and injuring 18. The city is the key defendant in five suits totaling $3.85 million. A March 10 trial date is set to determine whether the city is liable for damages. If so, the amount of liability would be determined in a later trial. The newspaper quoted sources in the city attorney’s office as saying the police car involved in the incident was insured for only $75,000. There are 12 federal and state suits totaling $30.7 million related to the city’s action in the Rault Center fire on Nov. 29, 1972, in which six persons died. Three suits have been filed against the city in the Jan, 7, 1973 Howard Johnson’s sniper attack. They total about $2 million. The shooting spree between police and a gunman atop the hotel left seven persons dead and 17 injured. Plaintiffs are seeking $36.8 million in 28 federal and state suits filed against the city after 32 persons were killed in a fire at the Upstairs Lounge on June 24, 1973. Only the Bourbon Street suit has been set for trial, but sources in the city attorneys office were quoted as saying that the Rault Center fire suits may reach trial before the end of 1975. If the city decides to make out-of-court settlements in the cases, the council must find the funds.

Text Any textual data included in the document Appeals Court Rules City Not Liable in Lounge Fire The City of New Orleans, though it sets building and safety standards and makes inspections, is not liable to families of victims of the June 1973 Upstairs Lounge fire, according to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal. This court in ruling on 14 cases in which about $20 million was claimed, thus upheld a December 1975 ruling from Civil District Court Judge Gerald Fedoroff. Thirty-two lives were lost in the blaze at 604 Iberville. The plaintiffs claimed the city was guilty of “affirmative neglect,” in that it knew of flammable materials, metal bars over windows, a false ceiling and raised stage. But the city said it could not be “a guarantor of the safety of each person who uses a building constructed under the city ordinances.” Judge John Boutall agreed with Judge Stoulig, but Judge Ernest Morial dissented. Judge Soulig said “the plaintiff is incorrect in assuming either failure to inspect or negligent inspection created a cause of action against the city to every patron injured in a fire in the premises. “Plaintiff’s position in this case is actually a reverse application of governmental immunity. “The abolition of governmental immunity requires that states and municipalities be treated the same as an individual citizen. The city owed him no individual duty.” City Atty. Philip Brooks noted it is unreasonable to hold the city responsible for each inspection. He said it is impossible, for example, for the city to stop someone from sealing up a doorway immediately after a fire inspection and prior to the next inspection. “The duty to inspect the Upstairs Lounge by any of the agencies joined as defendants is imposed to protect the public generally against potential hazards. There was no duty owed individually to all future patrons of this bar,” stated Judge Soulig.

Colleagues in the Baltimore-Washington Conference Stole Text This stole is for all the wonderfully talented individuals called by God to the ordained ministry who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered whom I have served with in the Baltimore-Washington Conference and who continue to seek to live faithfully their call within the United Methodist Church. May God's prophetic healing work within all our lives. Rev. Mary E. Kraus Dumbarton UMC, Washington, D.C Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This is one of thirteen stoles given to us by Dumbarton UMC in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH. Dumbarton is a Reconciling congregation, working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people into the life and leadership of the United Methodist Church. 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.
