Title A name given to the resource Life Story: Jarena Lee (1783–1855) Preacher of the Second Great Awakening Subject The topic of the resource Jarena was a very spiritual person, but she had never found a religious community that was right for her. About 20 years old, Jarena moved to Philadelphia to work as a domestic servant. In her spare time she went the many churches in the city. One day she attended a service at Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and heard Bishop Richard Allen speak. As a formerly enslaved person, he founded the Church when the white parish he previously attended began segregating its services. There was no segregation at Mother Bethel’s because all parishioners were Black. The services resonated with Jarena’s feelings and experiences. She asked to be baptized into the church. Around 1807, Jarena felt God had called her to the ministry, but women were not allowed to speak in most Christian churches based on a scriptural prohibition. Description An account of the resource Jarena became part of a broad spiritual movement called the Second Great Awakening that lasted from the 1790s to the 1840s. A religious fervor crossed the land and reached its peak in the 1820s, when Jarena began her missionary work. It was not just a religious movement but also was a social revolution. A central idea was that anyone saved could be a spiritual leader. Women organized and flocked to the huge religious gatherings called camp meetings and converted in huge numbers. About 100 women became preachers who traveled the country like Jarena seeking converts. Many used their platform to popularize reform movements like temperance, abolition, and women’s rights. For example, Jarena joined the American Anti-slavery Society in 1839. Jarena Lee and the other female preachers of the Second Great Awakening were trailblazers. At the start of her life, Jarena was not allowed to speak out at church services because people believed it went against the teachings of the bible. By the time of her death in 1855, religious women like Sojourner Truth were meeting with U.S. presidents to demand the abolition of slavery.

Linda M. Kaufman Stole Text SERVING THE HOMELESS WASHINGTON, D.C. THE REV. LINDA M. KAUFMAN FOUNDRY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Ordained in 1987 as an Episcopal priest, Linda Kaufman has served the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. In many ways that have strengthened the congregation and the community. Linda served as Minister of Missions at Foundry from 1996-97, and has also led several spiritual retreats for Foundry women. Linda wore this stole during the Sunday service at the Foundry women's retreat in February 2000. Linda's calling has been very specific and very powerful: to help the homeless, particularly the urban homeless. As Homeless Services Coordinator for the Downtown D.C. Business Improvement District, she has established new systems for providing valuable services to the homeless -- from shelter and daily care, to housing and employment opportunities. Linda serves on the ministry of St. Stephen and the Incarnation in downtown Washington. She came out within her conservative Virginia diocese several years ago when she realized the importance of demonstrating that issues of homosexuality in the Church are not abstract and rare, but real in the everyday life of the Church. "We are an incarnational faith," she says, "where knowing someone in the flesh - as we knew Jesus in the flesh - changes us." Knowing each other as we truly are -- "in the flesh" -- is how we grow in faith. Linda and her partner Liane have an adopted son, Ryan, now 12, who began his life as an inner-city child facing the challenges that Linda sees in the people she works with each day. Denomination United Methodist Church Episcopal Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story Established in 1815, Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, DC has been the home to Presidents, members of Congress, and many other public servants. In 1995, Foundry became one of the largest Reconciling congregations in the country, working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people into the life and leadership of the United Methodist Church. This is one of six stoles (#587-591, 846) donated by Foundry in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH. In 1999, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) inquired about the possibility of having a display of the Shower of Stoles at the General Conference the following April. At the time, there were only around twenty United Methodist stoles in the collection. We decided to introduce the Shower of Stoles to the Reconciling community by bringing the twenty UM stoles and about a hundred others to RMN’s Convocation in Denton, TX over the Labor Day weekend. Stoles started to trickle in during the fall, and by February they began coming in droves. In all, we received 220 United Methodist stoles – the vast majority of them arriving within eight weeks of the Conference. Thanks to a monumental effort by a number of volunteers who pitched in to help record, inventory, sew labels and make last-minute repairs, all of the new stoles were present in Cleveland. Twenty more people brought stoles directly to Cleveland, bringing the total number on display to 240. Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles”. In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.

Linda M Schultz Stole Text Linda M. Schultz Elder First United Church of Oak Park Nothing shall separate us from the love of God Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) United Church of Christ Contribution Date 1996 Contribution Story The Shower of Stoles Project owes its very existence to First United Church of Oak Park, where Linda Schultz is an ordained Elder. FUCOP is a More Light and Open and Affirming congregation working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons into the full life and leadership of the church. First United Church of Oak Park was formed in 1975 by the merger of First Presbyterian Church of Oak Park and First Congregational Church of Oak Park. Both congregations can trace their roots back to the same church, Oak Ridge Church of Harlem. Oak Ridge Church, which met in a small, wood-framed schoolhouse, counted among its thirteen founding members Mr. and Mrs. Anson Hemingway, grandparents of author Ernest Hemingway. The merger between these two churches was a unique and remarkable event. While most mergers take place between small, dying congregations, these two churches were both strong, healthy, fiscally sound churches when they decided to make this unprecedented move. Both congregations had long histories of work on the forefront of social justice causes. Looking for more opportunities for cooperative work between them, they concluded that by merging and selling off one of their two large physical plants they could use their common resources more effectively and put far more money towards mission giving. The result was the creation of a million dollar Special Mission Endowment Fund which has supported advocacy and justice efforts locally and across the globe. By late 1996, my partner, Tammy and I had collected well over three hundred stoles -- kept in plastic trash bags and old suitcases -- and were beginning to get requests for small displays from dozens of churches. At the time we were not incorporated "project" and had no funding; Tammy and I paid for these first displays out of our own pockets. Since we had both returned to school, however, and had very meager income from part-time jobs, we soon hit the financial wall. Two churches, FUOP and St. Luke Presbyterian Church of Wayzata, MN, sensed the importance of what we had in our hands and decided to take a chance. Both churches wrote us a check for a few thousand dollars with instructions to get the stoles out of trash bags and find a way to share them with the world. The end result of their generosity, we believe, is far greater than any of us could possibly have imagined.

Linda Parr Stole Text LINDA PARR CHURCH OF GOD (ANDERSON, INDIANA) Minister for more than twenty years. Credentials removed when I "came out." Now a minister at The Church Within, a nondenominational church in Indianapolis. This stole is a gift from Rev. Howard Warren Denomination Church of God (Anderson, IN) Contribution Date 2002 Contribution Story This stole was dedicated at an interfaith service in Indianapolis in 2002. The Anderson, IN branch of the Church of God is extraordinarily conservative, but does acknowledge the leadership of lay women to work in some capacities within a congregation. In Linda's case, she was a minister in a congregation for two decades. After coming out, she worked with a small group of LGBT friends in Indianapolis to found a non-denominational church that has become active in the community and in interfaith work at the state and local levels. Howard Warren was for many years a leader in the movement for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church, both nationally and state-wide. Many LGBT people of faith, including Linda Parr, count Howard as a mentor and friend.

Lisa (Church of the Covenant, Boston MA) Stole Text FOR LISA UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST/PRESBYTERIAN For my darling daughter Lisa from her loving mother C.G.C. 2001 Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) United Church of Christ Contribution Date 2001 Contribution Story This is one of 52 stoles donated to the Shower of Stoles collection by members and staff of Church of the Covenant. Although each of the stoles is unique, all of them are tied together by the inclusion of a piece cloth from a common bolt of blue and ivory material somewhere in the stole. Covenant is both a More Light and Open and Affirming Congregation. Their strong and public advocacy on behalf of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the church has drawn many LBGT persons to become a part of the Covenant church family. Their 52 stoles represent the largest subset of stoles given to the collection by any one congregation. Church of the Covenant, a federated United Church of Christ and Presbyterian Church, is steeped in history. Located just off the Boston Commons, the Gothic revival building erected in the mid-1800's was one of the first churches built in the Back Bay area. In the 1890's the sanctuary was completely redecorated by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Co., including the creation of an extraordinary set of Tiffany stained-glass windows and a chandelier that is said to be the first electrified light installed in a public building by Thomas Edison. Covenant's history of social justice and human rights work is equally rich. When I visited Covenant, I was intrigued to learn that the church was a designated stop along the "Boston Women's Heritage Trail." One of Covenant's members, Abbie Child, was the head of the Women's Board of Missions of the Congregational Church in the late 1800's. Another member, Dr. Elsa Meder, was one of the first women ordained as an elder in the Presbyterian Church. Elizabeth Rice and Alice Hageman, ordained in 1974 and 1975 respectively, were the first women to serve as pastors at a Back Bay church. When they were joined by Donna Day Lower, the church became the only one in the United States with three women clergy. Since opening the "Women's Lunch Place" in 1982, the church has served as a haven for poor women and their children. It is fitting, then, that one of the Tiffany windows is "Four Women of the Bible," including Miriam, Deborah, Mary of Bethany, and Dorcas. Covenant remains on the forefront of work for equality and justice, and is active in the LGBT Welcoming movement in the Boston area and beyond.

Lisa Martin Stole Text I can't imagine my life without praise and worship it is my "connection." I am a gay Christian woman who's life is so blessed and I must celebrate! When I was a little girl, I dream and prayed for God to bring a woman into my life I could marry, and a child. I am blessed with a life partner of 11 years, Cindy, and a 6 year old son Dillon. God hears our prayers! I am honored to serve God in the ministry the Anointing, and though I have not personally struggled with the many trials of so many represented in these stoles, I do grieve for "our struggle" and marvel at "our triumph" by God's love and grace. May I join you my brothers and sisters in joy, praising the One who fearfully and wonderfully made each of us and who is so worthy of our praise.

Lisa Osborn Stole Text LISA OSBORN DUMBARTON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH WASHINGTON, D.C. Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This is one of thirteen stoles given to us by Dumbarton UMC in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH. Dumbarton is a Reconciling congregation, working for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people into the life and leadership of the United Methodist Church. In 1999, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) inquired about the possibility of having a display of the Shower of Stoles at the General Conference the following April. At the time, there were only around twenty United Methodist stoles in the collection. We decided to introduce the Shower of Stoles to the Reconciling community by bringing the twenty UM stoles and about a hundred others to RMN’s Convocation in Denton, TX over the Labor Day weekend. Stoles started to trickle in during the fall, and by February they began coming in droves. In all, we received 220 United Methodist stoles – the vast majority of them arriving within eight weeks of the Conference. Thanks to a monumental effort by a number of volunteers who pitched in to help record, inventory, sew labels and make last-minute repairs, all of the new stoles were present in Cleveland. Twenty more people brought stoles directly to Cleveland, bringing the total number on display to 240. Towards the end of the General Conference, twenty eight lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender United Methodists and allies stood on the Conference floor in silent protest over the Conference’s failure to overturn the ban on LGBT ordination – a profound witness and act of defiance for which they were later arrested. As these twenty eight moved to the front of the room, another 200 supporters stood up around the balcony railing, each wearing one of the new United Methodist stoles. Hundreds more stood in solidarity as well, in the balcony and on the plenary floor, wearing symbolic “stoles” made from colorful bands of cloth. A group of young people from Minneapolis, members of a Communicant’s Class, had purchased bolts of cloth the preceding evening and stayed up all night cutting out close to a thousand of these “stoles.” In less than eight months, a handful of stoles had grown to become a powerful, visible witness to the steadfast faith of LGBT United Methodists nationwide.

Lloyd Hubbard Stole Text LLOYD HUBBARD ELDER GRACE CHURCH Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1996 Contribution Story This is one of about thirty stoles donated to the collection over the years by the members of Rutgers Presbyterian Church in New York in honor of their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members, many of whom hold leadership positions within the congregation and in the Presbytery of New York City. This stole was donated on behalf of Lloyd Hubbard, who was ordained an Elder at Grace Church (location unknown). Established in 1798 in lower Manhattan, Rutgers has a long history of involvement in social justice and community development issues. Rutgers is a More Light congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church. Along with More Light Presbyterians, Rutgers is a sponsor of Presbyterian Welcome (an affiliate of That All May Freely Serve) and the Covenant Network in their common pursuit for the end of discrimination against LGBT persons in the Presbyterian Church.

Text Any textual data included in the document Three Patients Hospitalized in New Burn Unit in N.O. Three victims of Sunday night’s tragic fire have been hospitalized in the new burn unit at Charity Hospital, a facility which wasn’t scheduled to be opened for several weeks. Five other persons were discharged after treatment, and the remaining seven persons injured were transferred to other hospitals, mostly at the request of families. Almost all those still hospitalized suffered serious burns escaping a flash fire in the Up Stairs Lounge and the apartments above it. Twenty-nine others were trapped in the second-story bar and died. Dr. Isidore A. Brickman, Charity Director, ordered the new unit opened ahead of time for Luther Boggs, Larry Stratton, and Jim Hambrick, all of whom suffered burns over nearly half their body. They are listed in serious condition, but show signs of improving. The Burn Unit is considered to be one of the best-equipped in the nation, and certainly in the deep South. Because of the premature opening, Charity officials had to scramble to line up personnel to work in the antiseptically clean unit. A cadre of volunteer medical students, nursing students and registered nurses came forward to be the first to work in the unit. A Charity spokesman said the burn unit would be just the first step for the first three patients. If they survived they face months of recuperation, the prospect of plastic surgery or skin grafts, and thousands of hours of therapy.
