Fifty decorated stoles that nod to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people will be on display June 2-23 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 920 Third Ave., Rockford, according to RRStar.com.
The long strips of fabric pastors typically wear over the shoulders are among 1,000 in the Shower of Stoles Project. Each stole contains the story of a LGBT person who is involved in the faith community in some way: minister, elder, deacon, teacher, missionary, musician, administrator or active layperson.
The stoles represent 32 denominations in six countries. See www.emmanuellutheranrockford.org/shower-of-stoles.html.
