Text Any textual data included in the document The Rev. Elder Jim Mitulski, known for his passionate connection of spirituality and social justice, has served LGBT congregations in New York City, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Dallas, Texas as well as serving as a denominational executive with Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC). Raised as a Roman Catholic in Royal Oak, Michigan, Mitulski attended Mass regularly with his fervently religious grandmother from a very young age. Through these experiences he developed a strong love for the Eucharist, the rosary and Marian devotion, liturgy and church life. After attending Catholic and public schools Mitulski graduated from Royal Oak High School in 1976 and enrolled in Columbia University in New York City, graduating in 1986 with a degree in Religion. He was an early member of Dignity where he was the youngest person on the Board of Driectors and first worked with Fr. John McNeill. He went on to begin his pastoral career at MCC New York, serving as the church’s associate pastor until 1986 when he was called to MCC San Francisco. His fifteen-year tenure there covered the height of the AIDS years with the church providing pastoral care, bereavement support, and thousands of funerals, along with several weekly services and countless programs. He became well known for his social justice activism, including handing out medical marijuana (then illegal) after church services one Sunday, defending the rights of the homeless in the Castro neighborhood, and engaging the political process to protect the rights of LGBT people. While pastoring, he graduated from Pacific School of Religion (PSR) with his Masters of Divinity in 1991. Mitulski was diagnosed with AIDS in 1995. By speaking publically about his illness, and writing about it—particularly in religious settings—he has helped to raise awareness and compassion for those with HIV. He co-chaired San Francisco’s Ryan White Health Services Planning Council from 1998-2001. After leaving MCC San Francisco, Jim was hired as the program coordinator at the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center at San Francisco's Main Library. He served there until he was tapped to work in the denominational offices of Metropolitan Community Churches—first in Leadership Development and then as an Elder, overseeing ministries in several states and countries. During this period he also served as pastor of MCC of the Redwood Empire in rural Guerneville, California, and later, of City of Angels MCC, an interfaith church in Glendale. While work as national church staff, Mitulski established numerous scholarships at seminaries across the country for MCC students. He taught theological students in Australia and South Africa and participated in a mission trip to the Mother of Peace HV/AIDS orphanage in Motuko, Zimbabwe. Mitulski returned to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008 as the pastor of New Spirit Community Church, which had multiple affiliations including the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), MCC, The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, and Pacific School of Religion (PSR). At the same time, he served as campus chaplain and co-director of worship at PSR. His involvement in the school has been extensive, including a stint on the Board of Trustees from 2000-2009. He also taught multiple courses, including HIV and Theology, Liturgy for Liberation, Queer church music and liturgy, and Church Growth for Liberals. He also served as adjunct faculty at Lancaster Theological Seminary and Episcopal Divinity School. Mitulski has been published in Take Back the Word: A Queer Reading of the Bible with “Ezekiel understands AIDS : AIDS understands Ezekiel, or Reading the Bible with HIV,” in John McNeil’s Sex as God Intended, in Christian Century, The Witness, and The Lambda Literary Review. He has been a frequent guest columnist for the Bay Area Reporter. With recognized credentials in the United Church of Christ, The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and MCC, Mitulski now serves as the interim pastor at Cathedral of Hope UCC in Dallas, Texas, which is the world’s largest GLBT church.

Jessica Lee Stole Text Called by God, denied by the United Methodist Church. I love the United Methodist church; it is the one organized religion that I have found that believes the way my heart believes. Of course, with the exception that "homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching, self-avowed homosexuals are not to be accepted as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church." I believe that God created all human beings and He did not make one to be better than the other. I believe God calls who He wants to be ordained and should not be denied by man or woman to serve. I also pray that someday, justice will be served and all are welcomed to serve and to be ordained. There is a lot of conflict within my soul, knowing that I am called by God and denied by the church to fulfill that calling. Jessica Lee Member of Simpson UMC Cleveland, Ohio Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This stole was given to us 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.

Jerome Walker Stole Text The Son loves all His flowers The Sonshine doesn't ask the daisies to be tulips JEROME WALKER Park Slope United Methodist Church Brooklyn, NY I have been a member of the PSUMC choir for ten years. I have used my origami art to decorate the church's Christmas tree for ten years. I have been a Teacher's Assistant in Sunday School for three years. I have been a liturgist and worship leader for eight years. I have been HIV+ for thirteen years. Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This is one of thirty one stoles from Park Slope United Methodist Church included in a display of UM stoles at the 2000 General Conference of the UMC in Cleveland. All are made from identically sized pieces in turquoise, lavender and purple cotton batik, With only 200 members, Park Slope has donated the largest number of stoles to the collection from a single United Methodist congregation. A diverse community, Park Slope's creed is: Hand in hand, we the people of the Park Slope United Methodist Church -- black and white, straight and gay, old and young, rich and poor -- unite as a loving community, in covenant with God and the Creation. Summoned by our faith in Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves to the humanization of urban life and to physical and spiritual growth. A scrappy congregation utterly committed to putting their faith into action, Park Slope has been unrelenting in its pursuit of justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the UMC. It has also been a safe haven, and a place of support and healing for a number of folk like Jerome who are HIV positive.

Jennifer L. Walters Stole Text JENNIFER L. WALTERS EPISCOPAL I was raised Roman Catholic and felt called to the priesthood since I was a child. I had always thought that it was my religious nature that made me feel so different from other kids. Then, in college when I began to realize that I was lesbian AND Christian, my difference and sense of isolation became even more profound, though I felt embraced by God throughout. In 1992 I was the first openly lesbian candidate for ordination in the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. I had received threats and at our church convention opponents called me the anti-Christ. The bishop who ordained me in 1994 was charged with heresy. My community made this stole and gave it to me to wear on my ordination day. I give thanks for the love and support of my church community, and family. It is only by the grace of God that I continue to serve as a priest in the church. Denomination Episcopal Church Roman Catholic Church Contribution Date 2002 Contribution Story It is, indeed, "only by the grace of God" that Jennifer Walters is an Episcopal priest today, given the threat she endured and one of the only heresy trials to take place in the past century. Jennifer is the chaplain at Smith College. Her stole is covered with symbols denoting women in the Bible.

Jeanine Dorfman Stole Text Jeanine Dorfman An "out" lesbian in the ordination process, who is being denied ordination. I pray that this evil will end soon. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 1995 Contribution Story On Jan. 1, 1996, I took one of the earliest displays of stoles to St. Luke Presbyterian Church in Wayzata, MN. St. Luke was one of the first benefactors of the Shower of Stoles Project (see stole #131 for details). Jeanine's mother, Carrie Dorfman, is a member of St. Luke. During the service, Jeanine's stole was laid on the communion table along with two large photos of Jeanine, one of her as an infant and the other taken recently of Jeanine wearing her stole, standing near a shoreline in upstate New York. Just before the sermon, Carrie was invited to come forward and take a moment to talk about Jeanine's stole. Carrie talked about the stole, and about the injustice of her daughter's having been denied ordination. Finally, in tears, she took the picture of Jeanine wearing her stole, held it up over her head and said, "She should be a minister! She should be wearing this stole!," and then she broke down sobbing. Rev. Bill Chadwick, one of St. Luke's co-pastors, came over and held her for a few moments, and then accompanied Carrie to her seat. Bill set aside his sermon notes; instead he returned to the communion table and said, "Sometimes the best words spoken are no words at all. Let's just sit in silence for awhile." And so we sat in silence -- a long, weighty silence broken only by the sound of quiet weeping throughout the room. It was, as one parishioner said later, "the most powerful sermon I've ever heard."

Jeanelle Nicolas Ablola Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://enfleshed.com/blogs/moments-for-common-nourishment/may-we-be-solidarious/ Description An account of the resource “We must be solidarious, meaning one with everybody, with the care of the planet, and we must be willing to accompany people’s movements for their rights, justice, peace. And so I put my education and my experience and my commitment to that service.” – Rev. Marta Benavides 10 years ago, I met Rev. Marta Benavides through Churches Witnessing with Migrants (CWWM). In El Salvador, she journeyed alongside Archbishop Oscar Romero. When sharing her experiences and expertise, she would occasionally bring up this concept of being solidarious – “We must be ‘solidarious’ as one vs be ‘in solidarity’ with other’s interests.”* This solidariousness – this living into and recognizing our oneness. The oneness of our struggles, of our resistance, and of our dreams. It recognizes that our deep engagement with the work of liberation, wherever we may feel called, is intertwined with the liberation of others. I wonder if – instead of chasing productivity – sometimes just being present, conscious, educating ourselves, or lifting up and naming our shared struggles is enough. To allow ourselves to get swept up in collective grieving, anger, or joy for/with one another. Perhaps that practice, that discipline, will open us up to Spirit who will empower us towards being organized more deeply, consistently, or lead us towards strengthening and building revolutionary relationships. activist clergy Filipino transgender Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jean (Park Slope United Methodist Church, Brooklyn NY) Stole Text Jean I am who I am Park Slope UMC Brooklyn, NY Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2000 Contribution Story This is one of thirty one stoles from Park Slope United Methodist Church included in a display of UM stoles at the 2000 General Conference of the UMC in Cleveland. All are made from identically sized pieces in turquoise, lavender and purple cotton batik, With only 200 members, Park Slope has donated the largest number of stoles to the collection from a single United Methodist congregation. A diverse community, Park Slope's creed is: Hand in hand, we the people of the Park Slope United Methodist Church -- black and white, straight and gay, old and young, rich and poor -- unite as a loving community, in covenant with God and the Creation. Summoned by our faith in Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves to the humanization of urban life and to physical and spiritual growth. A scrappy congregation utterly committed to putting their faith into action, Park Slope has been unrelenting in its pursuit of justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the UMC. 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.
