Contribution Story

Bill Capel has been involved in the More Light movement in the Presbyterian Church for many years.  As an openly gay Elder, Bill has served as the Moderator of the Presbytery of Southeastern Illinois and as a Commissioner to the General Assembly.  Bill's financial support and skills as a photographer allowed the Shower of Stoles Project to produce some of its earliest full-color print resources.  This stole was a gift from the SOSP in gratitude for his generosity.
