Like most downtown churches, we have seen the need for reaching out to and serving a wide diversity of people. This has included the gay and lesbian community in our city. The Covenant Triangle fellowship group, Session-adopted statements of inclusiveness, membership in the Covenant Network, and a Committee on Homosexuality and the Church in existence since 1978 as an educational and advocacy group for gays and lesbians are some of the ways we have attempted to minister to and include this group of people who have for too long been excluded and made to feel like second-class citizens of the PCUSA. Our stole displays the acronym for our congregation (FPC), plus the denominational symbol to show our support for a church unified in diversity. The rainbow is shown rising upward in hope and determination that soon our gay and lesbian members will be able to serve fully, openly, and joyfully.

First Presbyterian Church, Cottage Grove (Solidarity Stole) Stole Text FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Cottage Grove, Oregon We are two elders at the First Presbyterian Church in Cottage Grove, Oregon. After the Shower of Stoles Project was displayed at our church, we decided that we wanted to make a stole to honor the men and women in our denomination who are denied ordination because of their sexual orientation. This includes members of our congregation, members of our families, and many of our friends. The stole was worn by our minister for a dedication in which our congregation participated. Many of our signatures appear on the back of the stole. Thank you for the Shower of Stoles Project. You are all in our prayers. – De Martysus and Christine Heritage DEDICATION OF THE STOLE To the glory of God and the enrichment of the worshiping community, We dedicate this stole. In thankfulness for the love, imagination and hands that created it, We dedicate this stole. To the end that we may include all those who are called into ministry, We dedicate this stole. To the end that the unity and harmony of the church may better reflect the inclusive and intimate love of God, We dedicate this stole. That the holy purposes of God revealed to us in the worship life of the church may draw us into a closer communion and full acceptance of all God’s people. Amen. Denomination Presbyterian Church (USA) Contribution Date 2006 Contribution Story (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".) First Presbyterian Church of Cottage Grove, OR, is a More Light congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the life and leadership of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

As of this writing I am serving as the Senior Pastor, and it was our honor to host the Shower of Stoles Project at our church the last week of Lent and culminating on Palm Sunday. I am sure I do not speak for all, but do speak for many in saying that these dates are quite appropriate as we do our own repentance of categorical exclusion of persons who are called to ministry. We join the many who pray for a new day moving forward. May there be a day when all are welcomed to the Table, all whom are called of God. – Pastor Doyle Blanton and the FUMC Concern and Action Committee Denomination United Methodist Church Contribution Date 2015 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

That is eighteen Page 2: million American men and women. "The word 'homosexuality' does not denote a course of conduct, but a state of affairs, the state of loving your own, not the opposite sex, it is a state of affairs in nature. One should no more deplore 'homosexuality' than left-handedness. (One can condemn or prohibit acts of course; that is another matter. But one cannot condemn or prohibit homosexuality, as such.) "Secondly, the label 'homosexuality' is misleading. People are not either homosexual or heterosexual. Most people are predominantly one or the other; most in fact are predominantly heterosexual; many are one or the other; most in fact are predominantly heterosexual; many are predominantly homosexual; many are attracted to both sexes fairly equally and may be pushed one way or the other by circumstances, convenience, and social pressure. Before we assume that homosexuality is bad and heterosexuality is good, we should recognize that homosexuals are no more necessarily promiscuous than heterosexuals are necessarily chaste. They may be similar people (or even, it will be realised, the same person) and have similar moral values. But of course, where a heterosexual finds blessing in marriage, a homosexual cannot; and many of the pressures designed to hold lovers of the opposite sex together have the effect of tearing lovers of the same sex apart; it is hardly surprising then that most homosexual affairs (at least amongst men) are less durable than most heterosexual affairs ...

For All of Those Persons… Stole Text The story behind my stole is one for all of those persons who began their spiritual journey with ministry inside the church as a goal, only to find that this very journey brought them home to themselves, allowing truth to stand up against institutionalized dogma. This stole was made in honor of all those who have found themselves, and now courageously live their Christ light in their world, ministering to ALL of God’s people, whether they belong to a church or not. It is a stole honoring the full spectrum of God’s creation, unlike the church seems able to do fully at this time. I pray that it will give hope of the wholeness of all, through the strands of time.
