The Downtown Presbyterian Church (Solidarity Stole)
Stole Text
The Downtown Presbyterian Church
Presbyterian Church (USA)
Nashville, Tennessee
This stole was created and crafted by hand by the children of The Downtown Presbyterian Church as allies of the Shower of Stoles Project. Our children joyfully signed this stole in honor of not only those LGBTQ Elders and staff serving our congregation, but also all congregations. It was presented to our congregation during the worship service which concluded our weekend dedicated to hosting the Shower of Stoles. This weekend included an exhibition of 143 of the Stoles, with a soundscape provided by Aaron Doenges, a DPC artist, entitled “Adagio (for River and People),” a concert by Nashville in Harmony (Nashville’s LGBTQ Chorus), as well as a worship service.
