Contribution Story
(Note: A signature stole is one that is covered with the signatures of both gay and straight members of a congregation, denominational governing body, or other organization. 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".)
This is one of the first Signature Stoles to become a part of the Shower of Stoles collection. Made by my good friend Cynthia Ogletree, this stole was signed by friends and allies at the 1996 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Cynthia Ogletree made the pattern for this stole by reproducing the construction of what is believed to be the oldest stole in the collection, one given by David Hostetter in honor of his daughter (#40).
