Stole Text

THOMAS EMERICK
Director of Music
First Presbyterian Church
Ewing, NJ

As a gay Christian, I dedicate this stole to the glory of God in thanks for the loving recognition my church has made of the gifts brought to the work and worship of the church by the GLBT community; and in hope that the whole body of Christ will soon value the contributions of all its members.

Contribution Story

This is one of sixteen stoles donated by First Presbyterian Church of Ewing, NJ on behalf of members and friends of the congregation.  The stoles represent a broad cross section of the church, from ordained elders and deacons, to the Director of Music (this stole), and even the church's custodian.
