Contribution Story

Anonymous stoles found their way to us over the years by many means: left on a chair, passed through a third party, sent to us without a return address, or put in a box with other stoles being returned from a display.  On three occasions, someone found a way, carefully and quietly, to rearrange stoles that had already been hung on a line at a display, adding theirs to it without being seen.  We would discover the stole when we began to take down the display.  Scott's stole was found this way.  It was added to a display at a conference of the More Light Churches Network at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR in 1997.  No note was left with the stole.  It is identified only by the name "Scott" written on it.  We assume from the reference to More Light, and its addition at this particular conference, that Scott must be Presbyterian.  We have never learned anything else about him.
