Text Any textual data included in the document Randle R. "Rick" Mixon boarded a train in Boise, Idaho, in September 1965, bound for New York City and Columbia College. He rode with a half-dozen other boys recruited from Idaho. Along with the new metal trunk that held most of his meager worldly possessions, Rick carried a secret: he had known for some time, maybe all his conscious life, that he was attracted to males. There was little or no language for such thoughts and feelings in the environment in which he grew up. Boise of the late '50s and '60s was culturally conservative and was trying to live down the taint of the "Boys of Boise" scandal, in which it had been alleged but never proven that a group of prominent community men had engaged in sexual activity with high school boys. Rick's sense of self was complicated by having been born and raised in the church. His father was a Baptist preacher from Louisiana who served churches in Kansas, California and Idaho before his death at 47, when Rick was 17. Rick had a sense that he was called to ministry, but being a teenager at the time of his father's death left him confused about his place in the world. Even before he entered college, his mother had him on mailing lists for a number of seminaries so he could "finish his father's work." With a young person's natural tendency to reach for independence, in addition to struggling with some of his personal circumstances, Rick decided that entering the ministry was the last thing he would do. Though he did not "come out" during his college years, Rick did discover a wider world of cultural diversity and was challenged to think in ways he had never imagined possible. Not a particularly distinguished student, he sometimes says that he majored in glee club and New York City. By his senior year, he was on a fourth major and realizing that he had neglected to prepare himself for graduate school or a career. What he did know was--his anti-ministerial stance notwithstanding--whenever he chose a paper topic, it invariably turned to issues related to theology, faith, Christian ethics and the church. During his senior year, he gave in to the inevitable and attended a "weekend on the ministry" at Crozer Seminary (Martin Luther King Jr.'s alma mater), which was then located in the Philadelphia area. He discovered that intellectual inquiry and challenging social and cultural analysis were going on in those hallowed halls right alongside the study of theology, church history and the Bible. 　 Even with the modern gay movement unfolding in Greenwich Village, Rick knew he wanted to be in the San Francisco Bay area, so after graduating from Columbia in 1969, he moved to Berkeley and entered the American Baptist Seminary of the West to prepare for ministry. Naïve at the time, he gave little consideration to the conflict between pursuing this career and his emerging sexuality. He split them into separate compartments and kept the door between the compartments under lock and key. Rick flourished in seminary, serving as student representative to the Board of Trustees and as student body president. He was one of a handful of students who really wanted to pursue parish ministry in 1969, when many students were enrolling in theological training to avoid the draft and to pursue "alternate ministries" such as counseling and social work. He served for 15 months as a full-time intern at the First Baptist Church of Seattle. There he first met gay friends and the door between his carefully separated "compartments" began to creak open. He realized that he might be able to integrate his sexuality with the rest of his life, but it seemed obvious that this would not happen in the American Baptist Churches of the early 1970s. He decided to finish seminary but not pursue ministry as a profession. Rick helped to found American Baptists Concerned in 1973 (the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, intersex, queer, questioning and allies" movement within the American Baptist Churches/USA), and served as co-chair and staff person of the group for some 20 years. In the early 90s, that group spun off the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists, an organization of now more than 70 congregations that formally identify themselves as being welcoming to and affirming of persons with a range of sexual identities. After graduation from seminary and spending time exploring theater as an alternate career, Rick made a solitary car trip from Berkeley to Boise to visit family, to Seattle to visit friends, and back to Berkeley. It was on that journey that he realized he was running away from his call to ministry. One of his classmates was Bill Johnson, the first openly gay person ordained in the United Church of Christ. Given what he had learned in seminary about the need for trust in sustaining faith communities, it seemed fundamentally wrong to attempt to lead such a community without being honest about his full identity. Also, he knew he had not been given the "gift of celibacy" and believed it would be absurd to try to hide what would become his most important human relationship from any faith community he might serve. In fall 1973, Rick approached the pastor of the Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church in Oakland, California, where he had worked as a seminarian and was a member, and asked to be ordained by that congregation. He had chosen this church and its pastor because they had consistently preached and practiced inclusivity through the years and they were integrated racially. The pastor, Rodney R. Romney, greeted Rick warmly until he added that he wanted to pursue ordination as an openly gay man. Despite some initial reluctance to take on this battle, the pastor and the congregation eventually saw it as the logical consequence of everything they believed in and stood for. For the next 23 years, this congregation (not unanimously) supported Rick's call to ministry and on three occasions presented his name to a regional ordination council of the American Baptist Churches of the West. Each time the congregation's desire to ordain Rick was rebuffed by the region on narrow votes. In the last such vote in 1995, a majority supported his ordination, but by then the rules had been amended to require a two-thirds majority. At that point Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church decided to proceed with ordination at the local level. (In Baptist polity it is technically the local congregation that is the ordaining body.) On a hot June Sunday--San Francisco Gay Pride Day--in 1996, Rick was ordained. The decision of Lakeshore Church was supported in various ways by another 25 Baptist congregations from around the country, making it more than a local ordination in a significant sense. Rick was likely the first openly gay Baptist to be ordained (though, with the great diversity within Baptist circles, this is difficult to verify). Though ordained, opportunities to serve were few and far between. Years earlier Rick had obtained a master's degree in counseling from California State University-Hayward and a California state marriage and family therapist license in 1991 in order to support himself.　He also earned a Ph.D. in religion and psychology from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley in 1995. During these years he worked as a psychotherapist and adjunct faculty at Holy Names College (Oakland), Pacific School of Religion (Berkeley) and Saybrook Graduate School in Humanistic Psychology (San Francisco.) In 2000, Rick was called as interim pastor of Dolores Street Baptist Church in San Francisco where he served for 13 months. In March 2004, he left the Bay Area after 35 years to assume the interim pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Granville, Ohio, where he served for 2.5 years. In July of 2006 he became Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Palo Alto, Calif., where he continues to serve. He has continued his witness for lgbtq&q folks over the years, recently speaking out against Proposition 8 which opposed same sex marriage in California and serving on an Arcus Foundation funded planning group to strengthen the witness to and for lgbtq&q people within the Alliance of Baptists, the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America, the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists and the wider Baptist world. Currently, he serves on the boards of the Council of Churches of Santa Clara County, the board of the Alliance of Baptists, on which he chairs the Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations Committee, and the Pacific Coast Baptist Association, which he serves as President. He also sings with The Choral Project in San Jose. Publications include "Response to ‘The Bible and Sexuality’: Reflections" in The American Baptist Quarterly, Volume XII, Number 4, December 1993 and "Pastoral Care of Gay Men" in The Care of Men, Christie Cozad Neuger and James Newton Poling, editors, Abingdon, 1997.

Robert (One of a group of eighteen Lutheran college students in New York) Stole Text ROBERT LCMS NY Denomination Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod Contribution Date 2001 Contribution Story This is one of eighteen stoles made by an group of LGBT Lutheran college students in NY; sixteen are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and two belong to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), a far more conservative branch of American Lutheranism. All eighteen stoles have been patterned identically out of rainbow colored felt; each has a first name in block letters on one panel, and either "ELCA" or "LCMS," and "NY" on the second panel. The eighteen students represented by these stoles came to know each other by meeting at an ecumenical event, and they decided to keep meeting together informally. The students were particularly concerned with providing support for one of their two new LCMS friends. Although this young man was not "out" to anyone outside the group, he had been mercilessly abused by his family and his church on the mere suspicion that he was gay, and he feared for his life. Almost all of the other students are "out," but instead of simply trying to push their friend out of the closet, out of his church or away from his family, they chose instead to "sit with him," to be patient, offer their friendship and support, share in Bible study, and provide a listening ear until the young man's fears subsided and he could "find his own way." These stoles were given to me when I directed a display of stoles at the Tang Museum on the campus of Skidmore College in 2001. One of the ELCA students drove to Saratoga Springs, NY to deliver the stoles and tell me their story. As an act of solidarity with their one friend, all eighteen chose to put only their first names on the stoles. The student who delivered the stoles talked with me for quite awhile, but he, too, chose to tell me only his first name and he left no contact information. Although I don't know these students beyond the bit that they chose to share with me, I am touched by their story and impressed with the bond of faith and friendship they have formed. When I asked how their friend was doing, the student smiled and said, "He's getting his spiritual life back." And, he added, "He has changed our lives, too."

Robert Duncan Campbell Stole Text In Memory of ROBERT DUNCAN CAMPBELL This stole is in memory of Robert Duncan Campbell. Initially going by the name of Robert (Bob) Campbell, he serve in a variety of local United Methodist church settings as either or both music and youth director. He was a very gifted baritone singer, a composer and lyric writer. One year he was the Annual Conference Song Leader. Bob's gifts for ministry were affirmed by their fruit: growing musical programs and expanding youth ministries. The local church where Bob was a member ignored him and a (now well known) lesbian. "We love you two so there is not an issue here!" It was only late, in the mid-eighties, where three more events converged with these two's continual push, that something did happen in that local church. As Bob struggled with what it meant to be gay and to be in ministry, he realized he could not continue to work in the UM church and be who he was. As he came out, he started using his middle name, Duncan, as his first name. Duncan became a landscape gardener, creating and maintaining one of a kind, custom-made gardens. He continued singing and composing. He started having proceeds of any concerts that he did, most of which were performed in churches, go to support ministries of those living with AIDS or cancer. He joined with two other gay men to continue the concerts and complete a CD. As a gift to the local UM church that ignored Duncan when he came out, and for a denomination he loved, Duncan went back in the mid-nineties and worked with the clergy in his "home" church to start a process that lead to that church becoming a Reconciling Congregation, but not before Duncan died. Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This stole was given to at the 2000 General Conference of the UnitedMethodistChurch 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, including the unknown donor of this stole, 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.

Robert J. Moore Stole Text Robert J. Moore I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, graduated at the top of my class, and served parishes for 13 years. But I also had a shameful secret. I struggled with my sexuality for 48 years before actually being able to accept myself for who I am. Looking back, I can see that this needless struggle came about only because of misinformation I received from my faith tradition. Even when I knew it wasn't true, it took years to undo the damage. In 1990, I retired from Church work, so I could continue my struggle in a more supportive environment, and because I had by that time been diagnosed with HIV, and the Church did not feel like a safe place to be, no matter what the outcome of my personal struggle. Today, I continue my ministry with children and their families by working as a school social worker. I give my time to the Church whenever I can, and wherever it is welcome. When I think about the Church's erroneous teaching, and its impact on lives like mine, all I can say is "What a waste!" Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 2001 Contribution Story Robert's story is such a poignant example of the church's infliction of pain and violence on LGBT persons. Robert, like so many others, spent a lifetime undoing the damage done through the church's abuse. As if to rub salt in the wound, following his AIDS diagnosis he determined that the church, the first place he should be able to turn for support, was actually the least safe place he could imagine. Robert left the pastorate and now ministers outside the bounds of the church as a school social worker. The last line of Robert's story speaks volumes: "When I think about the Church's erroneous teaching, and its impact on lives like mine, all I can say is 'What a waste!'"

Title A name given to the resource Robert Kentta: Extending the Conversation at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. Subject The topic of the resource The production of spiritual art in the form of ceremonial clothing and objects capable of holding and conveying spiritual power as created by a two spirit person in the tradition of the Siletz Tribe. Description An account of the resource The money behind the project was granted by the National Endowment on the Arts, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, Oregon Arts Commission, the City of Salem, and the Maribeth Collins Art Acquisition Fund. The project included the acquisition of an artwork, an onsite residency, and a short film about the artist and their work. Three Native American artists from the Pacific Northwest were selected for this program. In addition to Robert Kentta, the grant recipients also included Joe Feddersen, and Marie Watt. In western terms, Robert Kentta is relegated to the status of an artist, one who creates pretty or interesting things for others to enjoy and possess. This western way of labeling his craft belies his spiritual role as a two spirit producer of ceremonial regalia and power objects. The name for two spirit people in his culture is Gitauk-uahi which is a ceremonial status, not just a gender designation. So, Robert's work is not simply art. Rather, it is his spiritual practice to create sacred objects based on ancient sacred knowledge and techniques using natural materials by incorporating the Siletz designs that communicate the symbolic codes of his people. Robert might be funded or paid today as an artist, but he gets to earn that way because he is spiritually gifted in knowing how to use his attunement with all creation to evoke a sense of fellowship, communalism, and loyalty to a people's history among his people both living and dead, between the people and the earth, and between the people and all other living things. In that regard, Robert's creation of these materials and his commitment to sustaining the traditional patterns represent the dedication of his spiritual practice to the survival of his people and their cultural traditions. It is only a post-colonial process that continues to de-contextualize his essential spiritual practice and turn it into marketable and commercializable art.

Robert Lee Waymack Stole Text Robert Lee Waymack Presbyterian Church (USA) 1979 M.A. from Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Richmond, VA 1982 D.Min. from Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, VA Written Ordination Exams – approved by Charlotte Presbytery! All Theological Papers – approved by Charlotte Presbytery! Exegesis and Sermon – approved by Charlotte Presbytery! Oral Exams – FAILED!! How could they fail me? The committee just met me! And I just finished telling them about my experience of grace in my life and my sense of call to the ministry. Did the committee chair suspect that I was gay? I had only come out to myself the previous year! No explanation was given for failing the Oral Exams other than, “Needs more work.” Still, the calling congregation wanted me! This was confirmation enough that my sense of call was real. And since it was a congregation of 3,500 members with several ordained pastors, my own ordination was not necessary for the position to which I was called. I worked in the congregation for four years, until they began to whisper loudly, “Why is Bobby over 30 and not married?” “Why is he living with a roommate?” The session decided to look into the matter. It was time to exit the professional ministry before real ugliness erupted. That was ten years ago. I still have a mix of emotions about the church. I feel relief that I do not have to live a closeted life anymore. That is not healthy. I will not do it again. But I feel sadness and anger as well. I miss the ministry and still believe that I am not living up to my true calling. Nor am I using my knowledge and skills to the fullest. It is with this mix of emotions that I give this stole back to the larger church. It is the one that I wore the most as the color for most of the liturgical year is green. I give this particular stole for another reason, also. I always found this particular color of green to be ugly. As ugly as discrimination is ugly. But there is a difference between the two. This ugly green stole has been transformed, even sanctified, for above its fringe it bears the mark of Christ. Discrimination never does.

Robin Leone Stole Text Robin Leone 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.
