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).

Bill Moss, now living in San Francisco, is an ordained Elder and a former Co-Moderator of the board of More Light Presbyterians, a national organization working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith into the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church.  Bill and his long-time partner, Chris Wiley, were among the 2,600 same-sex couples that received a marriage license in the first six days following San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to defy state law and issue the licenses.
