 This is such a lovely and gracious question!!
The short answer is:
Yes, of course you can, and it will be given, as it was given to you, as a gift from someone who wants the church to embrace every believer’s heart with hope you would wear it throughout the Assembly so that, whenever anyone comments on it, you would tell its story and be willing to pass it on to that person, if he or she also wanted to end discrimination against LGBT Presbyterians in the church now.
If you feel moved to send your rainbow scarf on, then please use this address:
Susan Robertson 9650 Clover Circle Eden Prairie, MN 5537
It will become part of the 1,500 scarves we hope to have in July because we trust that every commissioner and advisory delegate wants to embrace every believer’s heart, including our LGBT faithful.
At the same time, it is also fine for you to keep the rainbow scarf you have. It continues as a witness, wherever you wear it and you tell its story. Perhaps you can wear it very intentionally during this GA this July wherever you are, even in the hottest spot in the church. By doing this you turn your spirit to the Twin Cities, joining it with all at the Assembly who yearn for the church to be as gracious as Christ.
Perhaps you could learn to knit, yourself. Honestly, if I could learn, you can. And every scarf is precious, as you know, whether it is the simplest knit, knit, knit or the most complex pattern. For more information, visit the story, Knitting & Praying Our Way to GA (2010).
Or you can enlist knitters or crocheters you know to knit with you and send your box to Susan with notes attached to each piece of handiwork expressing your hopeful prayer for the 219th General Assembly.
All of these possibilities witness to God’s awesome love for us all!
Rev. Janet Edwards
