Description:Gail Ricciuti and Anthony Ricciuti co-pastored Downtown United Presbyterian Church (Rochester, NY) from 1983 to 1998. Chuck Lundeen was part of the pastor nominating committee which chose Rev. Jane Adams Spahr, a lesbian minister, as pastor of Downtown Church. That All May Freely Serve (TAMFS) began in 1993 after Spahr was banned by the Permanent Judicial Commission from accepting a call to serve as a pastor of Downtown Church. Downtown Church formed TAMFS ministry in response, electing Spahr to serve as a "lesbian evangelist" to the PC(USA), and advocating for the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ Presbyterians. Ed Saphar worked with Virginia West Davidson to establish Spahr as Downtown Church's "lesbian evangelist."Creator:Ricciuti, Gail Anderson. (interviewee), Ricciuti, Anthony. (interviewee), Saphar, Ed.
