Lisa Martin Stole Text I can't imagine my life without praise and worship it is my "connection." I am a gay Christian woman who's life is so blessed and I must celebrate! When I was a little girl, I dream and prayed for God to bring a woman into my life I could marry, and a child. I am blessed with a life partner of 11 years, Cindy, and a 6 year old son Dillon. God hears our prayers! I am honored to serve God in the ministry the Anointing, and though I have not personally struggled with the many trials of so many represented in these stoles, I do grieve for "our struggle" and marvel at "our triumph" by God's love and grace. May I join you my brothers and sisters in joy, praising the One who fearfully and wonderfully made each of us and who is so worthy of our praise.

Lisa Osborn Stole Text LISA OSBORN DUMBARTON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 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.

Lloyd Hubbard Stole Text LLOYD HUBBARD ELDER GRACE CHURCH Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1996 Contribution Story This is one of about thirty stoles donated to the collection over the years by the members of Rutgers Presbyterian Church in New York in honor of their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members, many of whom hold leadership positions within the congregation and in the Presbytery of New York City. This stole was donated on behalf of Lloyd Hubbard, who was ordained an Elder at Grace Church (location unknown). Established in 1798 in lower Manhattan, Rutgers has a long history of involvement in social justice and community development issues. Rutgers is a More Light congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church. Along with More Light Presbyterians, Rutgers is a sponsor of Presbyterian Welcome (an affiliate of That All May Freely Serve) and the Covenant Network in their common pursuit for the end of discrimination against LGBT persons in the Presbyterian Church.

Text Any textual data included in the document Three Patients Hospitalized in New Burn Unit in N.O. Three victims of Sunday night’s tragic fire have been hospitalized in the new burn unit at Charity Hospital, a facility which wasn’t scheduled to be opened for several weeks. Five other persons were discharged after treatment, and the remaining seven persons injured were transferred to other hospitals, mostly at the request of families. Almost all those still hospitalized suffered serious burns escaping a flash fire in the Up Stairs Lounge and the apartments above it. Twenty-nine others were trapped in the second-story bar and died. Dr. Isidore A. Brickman, Charity Director, ordered the new unit opened ahead of time for Luther Boggs, Larry Stratton, and Jim Hambrick, all of whom suffered burns over nearly half their body. They are listed in serious condition, but show signs of improving. The Burn Unit is considered to be one of the best-equipped in the nation, and certainly in the deep South. Because of the premature opening, Charity officials had to scramble to line up personnel to work in the antiseptically clean unit. A cadre of volunteer medical students, nursing students and registered nurses came forward to be the first to work in the unit. A Charity spokesman said the burn unit would be just the first step for the first three patients. If they survived they face months of recuperation, the prospect of plastic surgery or skin grafts, and thousands of hours of therapy.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Rev. Lois (Loey) M. Powell retired in 2016 from the denominational offices of the United Church of Christ after serving in various positions of leadership there for almost 20 years. Loey began her national setting ministry in 1996 when she was called to serve as the last Executive Director for the Coordinating Center for Women in Church and Society (CCW), one of the offices that would disappear as a distinct focus when the UCC restructured in 2000. Justice advocacy for women continued in a new national ministry called Justice and Witness Ministries and Loey joined the leadership team of JWM with particular attention to this advocacy work along with peace issues and leadership development, continuing this until 2014. At that point, Loey became the Executive Associate to the General Minister and President, and then filled a different position in her last months in the national offices. The UCC likes to tout its “firsts” in history, such as being the first mainline church to ordain a woman when Antoinette Brown was ordered in 1853, and the first to ordain an openly gay or lesbian minister when the Rev. William R. Johnson was ordained in 1972. Loey’s ministry includes a few such firsts as an open lesbian in ministry since 1978, the year she was ordained by the Golden Gate Association of the Northern California-Nevada Conference. Loey was the first open lgbt member to be elected to the UCC’s Executive Council (around 1986), the primary decision-making body of the UCC. When she was called to be pastor of the United Church in Tallahassee (FL) in 1989, Loey was the first open lgbt minister to be called as sole pastor through the regular search and call process (which means she was just another name in a pool of candidates). As Executive Director of CCW, she was the first openly lgbt executive on the UCC’s Council of Instrumentality Executives. Loey was a preacher’s kid. Her father, Oliver Powell, was a well-respected UCC minister who never shied away from engaging the church in the realities of the world and its social issues. Her mother, Eleonore Powell, returned to complete her B.S. when Loey was in grade school and had her own career as a dietician. Loey had two older brothers, David and Jonathan, but the family lost Joe when he was just 17. Born in Worcester, MA, in 1950, the Powells moved to Oak Park, IL, when Loey was in first grade. There she completed high school before attending Oberlin College. Then it was off to Pacific School of Religion in 1974 where Loey earned her M.Div. in 1977. She came out as lesbian during her first year at PSR and became clear that her call to ministry was to be an advocate for justice. Feminist and liberation theologies were front and center and the desire to model a belief that ministry exists in and through community led Loey and two other women, also lesbian, to seek ordination together. They made their request for ordination from the Golden Gate Association of the No. California-Nevada Conference having written a joint theology of ministry paper. Along with Stacy Cusulos and Jody Parsons, the three women chose not to publicly state their sexual orientation in their request because of the joint nature of their request. It was widely known, however, throughout the Conference that they were lesbians. On April 2,1978, that ordination took place at Mill Valley Community Church (UCC) with much joy and celebration.  Loey’s first call in ministry was to be the director for an ecumenical non-profit that did education and advocacy on environmental and energy issues with churches. After two years, she had the opportunity to be an interim associate Conference minister, and then she was called to be the interim associate minister at 1st Congregational Church of San Francisco. Following her two years in that position, Loey entered a period of time when she was not able to find a ministry position for several years. She worked for Redwood Records, the independent women-owned label started by Holly Near, worked as a receptionist in a chiropractic office, and as a technician at the Oakland Museum. She was called to serve part-time as the founding pastor of Peace UCC in Oakland, an Open and Affirming Congregation seeking new ways to minister and worship in the Bay Area, a role she fulfilled for the first two years of that congregation’s life. Then, in 1989, Loey was called to the United Church in Tallahassee. There she was engaged in HIV/AIDS outreach, reproductive justice concerns, peace issues, lgbtq advocacy, and responding to the rise in the number of Black churches in the South which were being burned down, among other issues of the day. It was a very satisfying pastorate with a wonderful congregation. During her tenure in the national setting of the UCC, Loey had the opportunity to represent the UCC in ecumenical and interfaith settings. She was a member of the Justice for Women Working Group of the National Council of Churches, participated in an ecumenical women’s trip to the Middle East, served for four years as the Chair of the Board of Directors for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and was able to attend many conferences and committees addressing a wide range of issues. For many ecumenical and interfaith partners, Loey’s sexuality was a challenge or a blessing, especially as many denominations struggled internally with lgbtq issues. For Loey, it felt important to be more than a single-issue minister particularly as one whose interests covered a range of topics. Over the years, Loey was active with the UCC’s Open and Affirming Coalition, becoming involved when it was still known as the UCC Gay Caucus. She was co-national coordinator with Bill Johnson early on, and then with Sam Loliger. Her parents founded a new ministry focus in their retirement when they formed a new support group, the UCC Parents of Lesbians and Gays. Over the years, Eleonore and Oliver counseled and encouraged parents who were struggling with accepting their children and developed a strong voice of advocacy within the UCC for lgbtq persons and families. In 2017, Loey was awarded the UCC’s Antoinette Brown Award which since 1975 has recognized trailblazing ministries of women. Loey met her spouse, Brenda Joyner, in Tallahassee. Brenda was the Director of the Feminist Women’s Health Center then and they became personally involved in 1996. When Loey moved to Cleveland in 1997, Brenda went off the CUNY Law School. Both are retired now, Loey from the UCC and Brenda from teaching, and seek new ways to live out their strong commitments to justice. They balance the craziness of the world with their avid love of golfing, cooking, good wine, and taking on all kinds of home repair jobs.

Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church Stole Text Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Dillon, CO From 2007 until May 2008, the Yak and Yarn folks at Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Dillon, Colorado created 230 of these stoles to be distributed at the 2008 Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly in Denver. Three large baskets containing the knitted or crocheted stoles were placed near the Shower of Stoles exhibit in the main exhibition area, and assembly attendees were encouraged to take a wear a stole as a show of support. It was encouraging to look across the assembly room and see so many delegates and visitors wearing their stole. As the assembly ended, all the stoles had been claimed, a few even by hotel employees who were intrigued by this quiet and visible mark of support for LGBT clergy and congregational staff members.
