Photo by Libby RudolfThe Shower of Stoles is a collection of over a thousand liturgical stoles and other sacred items representing the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people of faith. This extraordinary collection celebrates the gifts of GLBT persons who serve God in countless ways, while also lifting up those who have been excluded from service because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
There will be two opportunities for the public to view the stoles while they are on display at the First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs, 314 Xenia Avenue.
Friday, Sept. 17, 6-9 p.m., as part of Third Friday Fling and Sunday, Sept. 19, 1-4 p.m.
A film on the creation of the Shower of Stoles will be playing at both events. Refreshments will be served.
As part of this event, Keith GunderKline will give the sermon on the subject of finding the strength and courage to dare to be the person you are called to be at the 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday. MUSE Cincinnati Women’s Choir will also sing at the service.

thank you for helping get the word out Virgil - I like the stole I made, draped on the stairs - genuine acceptance is still an uphill battle.
