Contribution Story

The Presbytery of Western Reserve covers nine counties in northeastern Ohio, including the greater Cleveland metropolitan area.  This is one of two stoles from the presbytery made in advance of the 1996 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

 (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".)
