Contribution Story
This stole was one of the original 80 stoles that were on display on Sept.16, 1995 when I set aside my ordination before Heartland Presbytery (see stole #1 for details). John's stole was the first of dozens that we received over the years from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and staff at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.
