Anonymous (Gay Presbyterian, Boston Presbytery) Stole Text God's Gift In Honor of an Anonymous Gay Presbyterian Boston Presbytery Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1996 Contribution Story We know almost nothing about this individual, except to say that great lengths were taken to protect his or her identity. The packaged stole was given to a member of the presbytery, who brought it with them to the 1996 General Assembly in Albuquerque. There it was handed over to another person, who finally delivered it to me. Because of this protracted method of delivery, perhaps, it is a stole I have thought about often. The Presbytery of Boston is a relatively small presbytery consisting of twenty five Presbyterian congregations in and around Boston, Massachusetts. Does this stole honor some well known leader within the presbytery? Or is it a member of a local congregation who, because of family or employment circumstances, cannot risk having their identity revealed? Could it be simply someone who, due to their own internalized homophobia, is afraid to come out? We may never know. In the late 1990's, this stole was instrumental in helping someone else to come out. A gay man, an ordained Presbyterian elder in Wisconsin, wrote me a letter saying that he had decided it was time for him to come out to his congregation. He asked me to send him a stole that he could wear on his chosen Sunday. As I read his letter, this particular stole happened to be on my desk, so I sent it off to him and encouraged him to remember as he wore it that day that he is a gift from God. When he returned the stole, he let me know that he had worn the stole throughout that Sunday morning. Being a soft-spoken fellow, he found that telling the story of the stole helped him to tell his own story -- what it had felt like to have to keep so much of himself hidden all these years, and what a great weight would now be lifted off his shoulders. Although he knew he would receive mixed reactions from members of his "rather traditional" congregation, he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support he received from many who heard his story that day. It is my prayer that somehow -- perhaps through this exhibit -- an unnamed child of God from Boston will come to know what a gift they truly are, and what a tremendous gift they were able to provide another gay Presbyterian.

Mardee Rightmeyer Stole Text Mardee Rightmeyer 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). Mardee is known for her many extraordinary contributions to the Presbyterian Church -- and also for a noteable family connection. Mardee is an ordained elder and professional church educator in the Presbyterian Church (USA). She holds a masters degree in Christian Education from the Presbyterian School of Christian Education (now part of Union Theological Seminary, Richmond VA) and has served as a Volunteer In Mission in China. In 1991 Mardee was forced to resign from her position as Director of Christian Education at St. Luke Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody, GA after it became known that she is a lesbian. Fortunately, she has been able to put her gifts to work in the greater church; Mardee is now the Director of the Resource Center for the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta and the Synod of South Atlantic. She is also the Co-Moderator for That All May Freely Serve, a national organization working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church. Many Presbyterians also know Mardee for a notable family tie. Her brother, Rev. Joe Rightmeyer, served for a decade as the Executive Director of Presbyterians For Renewal, the largest organization in the church working against the ordination of LGBT persons. As two of ten siblings, Mardee says that when she lost her job and came out to her family, all of her family was extremely supportive, except Joe. She once quipped that, within her family context, it is interesting that Joe is actually the one that has become a bit of the "black sheep."
