Contribution Story

Brian Cave created this stole while a student at Union Theological Seminary in New York.  Brian was ordained an Elder and served on the Session of Jan Hus Presbyterian Church in New York.  He served on the Board of More Light Presbyterians as their first National MLP Youth and Young Adult Liaison and has also been active in national and regional work for That All May Freely Serve along with a number of other LGBT advocacy groups.  Sadly, like so many before him, this immensely talented, faithful young man left the Presbyterian Church in the fall of 2004 to seek ordination in the United Church of Christ.
