Donna Riley Stole Text DONNA RILEY Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania To the leaders of San Marino Community Church (San Marino, CA) who nurtured me in the faith: You taught me from infancy that Jesus loves me. You helped me memorize the Lord's Prayer at six, the books of the Bible and the twenty-third Psalm at eight, and the Apostle's Creed at fourteen. Youth choir showed me the power of praising God through music. You provided me with dynamic junior- and senior-high programs and mountain-top experiences at Forest Home and Camp O-Ongo. Your rigorous eighteen-month Confirmation class taught me church history, theology and polity and the responsibilities of membership. You facilitated my growth as a passionately committed Christian and Presbyterian. You fostered my sense of integrity which enabled me to face the challenges of coming out to my family and current congregation (Sixth Presbyterian, Pittsburgh), who welcomed me with open arms. You gave me the strength to take a risk and answer my call to serve as an out deacon. You offered me so much, yet some of you would now seek to remove my ordination and would not allow my partner and me to celebrate our relationship in the sanctuary where I received my first Bible. Others continue now the education and caregiving you began with me as a child, but I will always be grateful to you who taught me first that I am a child of God. No matter how soundly you reject me now, I remain a part of your church and community, certain that I belong -- just as you said. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1998 Contribution Story Donna Riley is an extraordinary young woman. Donna received her Ph.D. in engineering and public policy from Carnegie Mellon University and her B.S.E. in chemical engineering from Princeton University. She was the Clayton Postdoctoral Fellow in Industrial Ecology at the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Princeton University and later was awarded the AAAS Environmental Science and Engineering Fellowship assigned to the Superfund Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. In 2002, Donna became one of a select number of academics chosen to form the inaugural faculty of the new engineering department at Smith College, the first such department at a women's college in the U.S. Donna is also a woman of integrity and faith. A life-long Presbyterian, ordained Deacon, and bisexual woman, Donna served as the Co-Moderator of the national board of More Light Presbyterians, working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons into the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church. On a number of occasions Donna talked with me about making a stole for the collection. Her hesitancy came in trying to shape a narrative. Instead of focusing on her own story, she found herself wishing she could have a conversation about her experience as a bisexual woman of faith with the church of her childhood -- a church which once embraced her but would now just as passionately reject her. At one point I suggested to her, "Why don't you just write a letter to your home church. Even if you never send it to them, it would give you a chance to say what's on your heart." Soon thereafter, Donna sent me a stole with this letter -- a simple, eloquent statement of faith. It is, I believe, a letter that could be written to churches everywhere.

Tom Philipp Stole Text In Honor of THE REV. TOM PHILIPP Given by Bob and Vergene Wieman Campus Chaplain and for more than 15 years pastor of the Community Presbyterian Church in Merrick, Long Island, New York. A great pastor, counselor, presbyter and friend. Tom came out at the 1978 General Assembly when the "definitive guidance" was first enunciated. The next year he was elected Moderator of Long Island Presbytery and served in that capacity in 1980. He has served the presbytery and the communities of Long Island faithfully and in many diverse capacities. Under his leadership Merrick Church became a More Light Church. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1997 Contribution Story Rev. Bob and Vergene Wieman, donors of this stole, count their friend and colleague, Tom, as one of their heroes. Tom was one of the few ordained LGBT folk who came out at the fateful 1978 General Assembly and managed to remain an ordained parish pastor. The fact that he was elected Moderator of Long Island Presbytery the very next year is a testimony to Tom's exemplary faith, character and pastoral leadership. In part because of the witness of Tom and other LGBT people of faith and courage, Bob and Vergene have been active leaders themselves in the More Light movement in Ewing and Princeton, NJ.

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".) Old Southhaven is a More Light congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons into the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church, and a member congregation of "Honoring All Voices," a group of churches and individuals within the Presbytery of Long Island which have come together to be a voice of inclusiveness and justice within the denomination. This stole is unique among the collection's Signature Stoles. As an act of solidarity, all of the ordained officers of Old Southhaven signed this stole, elders on one panel and deacons on the other -- without identifying who is straight or who is gay.

Anonymous (When All May Freely Serve) Stole Text Anonymous I am currently serving as a pastor of a church. I am quite certain that most of the members know that I am lesbian. Still, we continue to tip-toe around the question of identifying who I am. As a pastor, it sometimes feels as if I am crossing a bridge to meet someone and, just as we are about to embrace in the middle of the bridge, the center falls away. And so, I must ask that my name not be used just yet. Someday, perhaps, "when all may freely serve" A lesbian minister 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). (The stole inventory numbers are not in exact chronological order; the inventory was not created until 1997.) This very brief story offers a poignant glimpse into the isolation experienced by so many closeted pastors. That painful loneliness is palpable in this poetic image: "...it sometimes feels as if I am crossing a bridge to meet someone and, just as we are about to embrace in the middle of the bridge, the center falls away." The church has forced so many pastors into a terrible bind -- on the one hand sharing so deeply in the lives of their parishioners, on the other hand having to tread carefully so as to share as little as possible in return. It is no wonder that pastors who have come out and left parish ministry often describe their life in the closet as "exhausting." We who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender have come to the middle of the bridge. It is time -- past time -- for the church to come and meet us half way, and to embrace us fully.

Glynn Moreland Stole Text GLYNN MORELAND FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Glynn Moreland was Richmond, Virginia's first PLGC Chapter President in the early 1990s. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church and loved singing in the church choir. He worked at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the last few years of his life at the Fan Free Clinic. Glynn was an out gay man. He never quit believing that his church was inclusive and would eventually stop its practice of discriminating against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered. And he worked for inclusivity with PLGC, in his own church community and at the Presbytery level. Glynn had a lot of style. The stole's appliques reflect some aspects of his life and personality. He organized a benefit to raise money for HIV/AIDS that event was called Heartstings and that is the prominent theme of the stole. A Virginia Tech alumnus, he was an avid Virginia Tech football fan. He grew up on a farm, and was equally comfortable talking with farmers and retail people. He collected teapots and decorated his house with large flowers, which he called a house broach. He loved Christmas. Glynn died in the mid 1990s from complications from AIDS. His funeral was held at First Presbyterian Church. His beloved choir sang. Many friends were there. He is truly missed. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 2004 Contribution Story Glynn, Dorothy and Lisa were faithful Presbyterians who, although living and attending church in a decidedly conservative area, believed in the best that the Presbyterian Church could be and held out hope that the church would come to love them as much as they loved the church. All three were active in the Richmond Chapter of Presbyterians for Lesbian and Gay Concerns (later called More Light Presbyterians), and Dorothy served on the national board of PLGC. Glynn died with his vision for a welcoming church unfulfilled. Dorothy and Lisa were later driven out of their own congregation by a cadre of homophobic members who took offense to Lisa's having been invited to read the scripture in church one Sunday, and they left the denomination for good.
