&lt;p&gt;Campus Chaplain and for more than 15 years pastor of the Community Presbyterian Church in Merrick, Long Island, New York.  A great pastor, counselor, presbyter and friend.  Tom came out at the 1978 General Assembly when the "definitive guidance" was first enunciated.  The next year he was elected Moderator of Long Island Presbytery and served in that capacity in 1980.  He has served the presbytery and the communities of Long Island faithfully and in many diverse capacities.  Under his leadership Merrick Church became a More Light Church.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;p&gt;Rev. Bob and Vergene Wieman, donors of this stole, count their friend and colleague, Tom, as one of their heroes.  Tom was one of the few ordained LGBT folk who came out at the fateful 1978 General Assembly and managed to remain an ordained parish pastor.  The fact that he was elected Moderator of Long Island Presbytery the very next year is a testimony to Tom's exemplary faith, character and pastoral leadership.  In part because of the witness of Tom and other LGBT people of faith and courage, Bob and Vergene have been active leaders themselves in the More Light movement in Ewing and Princeton, NJ.&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;In 1997, North Decatur Church donated about a dozen stoles to the collection.  A few stoles honored members of the church, a few more were Signature Stoles from the congregation.  The final few stoles were made to honor LGBT persons known to the church (although not necessarily members there) who serve the Presbyterian Church in silence.  Tommy Pritchard is a graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary.&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;My name is Tracy Smith and I earned my M.Div. From Boston University School of Theology in 1984.  I grew up in the United Methodist church and was very active in the youth and camp programs throughout my junior and senior high years of school.  I felt called to ministry during those years, preparing myself by first attending a Christian college for four years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I realized I was a lesbian my last year of college.  I continued with my plans of theology school not knowing really what this would mean for my career.  The pastor of my church where I sought to be "in care" found out that I was a lesbian at the end of my first year at BUSTH.  I was outed by another student in the same conference.  My pastor said he would make it his mission to see to it that I never ministered in a church.  He was a member of the Board of Ordained Ministers in the Michigan Eastern conference.  He stuck by his word and was successful in keeping me out of ordained ministry in the United Methodist denomination.  I was offered the opportunity to write a statement that I believed homosexuality was wrong, not keeping with Christian teaching, and that I would remain celibate.  If only I would sign…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did not sign a statement.  There were many years of struggle, being lost, and in the end being found.  I have a successful private practice in psychotherapy where I work with gay, lesbian and heterosexual people.  I am truly honored that I am allowed to journey with people during some of the most significant times of their lives.  I am able to fulfill my call to ministry in my work.  What is of God will prevail if we continue to be faithful!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides my practice of 11 years, I am the Minister of Outreach at Euclid Ave. UMC in Oak Park, IL.  During this time of turmoil Euclid made a bold statement in creating a position to reach out to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.  My heart aches during communion because I know that even with the taking of this position it does not change the reality that I can not administer the sacraments.  Until something radical changes, I will not be ordained.  The beautiful stole you view will never be mine to wear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am blessed with a partner of 15 years.  Together we have created a family, a 3 year old daughter and a 16 month old daughter who we have adopted internationally.  My partner is out of the country as I write this to bring our youngest daughter home!  Life is full!  People and politics have not always been good to me but I can say that God is good and has been good to me.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;This stole was given to us in advance of the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Cleveland, OH.  The United Methodist Church has turned away a treasure in denying Tracy Smith the opportunity to pursue her call to ordained ministry.  Fortunately, Euclid Ave. Church recognized Tracy's abundant gifts and made a place for her on their staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

                <text>[Shanaya] moved in with Christian couple Trevor and Judy, who worked closely with asylum seekers through the Detention Centre. The couple introduced her to the Newtown Mission church and its Pastor, Andy, who became the first friend she ever came out to.&#13;
&#13;
“I said, ‘If I tell you, I think you’re going to hate me’,” Shanaya recounts.&#13;
&#13;
“He said, ‘Trust me child no matter what you tell me, my love for you, Jesus’ love for you, will never go away. It will always be the same’.”&#13;
&#13;
Pastor Andy remembers it well too: “I wanted Shanaya to feel supported and not condemned by her fellow Christians,” he says.</text>

                <text>The San Francisco General Hospital offers spiritual care services to its patients and staff that Sojourn Chaplaincy provides. Trans leaders worked with clergy from the Global Ministry Center (Church of the Nazarene) to develop new standards of gender-affirming care appropriate for transgender patients and staff. In 2017 they initiated a new service that never existed before. They began to recruit clergy and chaplains who were trained in gender diversity. These new gender-affirming recruits joined the project to accompany transgender patients and be their healthcare advocates. They called it the Transgender Spiritual Care Initiative (TSCI).</text>

"Where will we sing?" she recounted asking herself. "Would people stop laughing long enough to listen?&#13;
&#13;
"You know how the queer community is. They don't want to hear anybody talking about God. They have too many wounds from Bible abuse and queer bashing," Moore said. "And then the Christians who have bought in to the whole mistranslation of the Bible think, 'What is this? Queers are singing gospel?' "&#13;
