Contribution Story
(Note: A “solidarity 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".)
Swarthmore Presbyterian Church is a congregation of over 1,000 members near Swarthmore College, southwest of Philadelphia, PA. Their Signature Stole is a beautifully crafted quilt.
