Stole Narrative

St. Paul's United Methodist Church
Vacaville, CA

St. Paul's United Methodist Church is a Reconciling Congregation and a Peace With Justice congregation.  We are straights, gays, lesbians, bisexuals; singles, lifetime partners, husbands, wives, widows, youth and children.  We minister in support of God's justice and inclusive love.

Historical Commentary

St. Paul's UMC is a Reconciling Congregation, working for the full inclusion of LGBT persons into the life and leadership of the United Methodist Church. 

(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".)
