For many years I served as a moderator for a long-standing Trans support group. Over an over I heard how trans people were ostracized from their families, jobs, friendships and worst of all their Churches. I have long hoped that the Episcopal Church, the church of my baptism, confirmation, marriage and ordination would be an accepting and open home for everyone, including trans people. When I transitioned my own Bishop stood by me as did the other Priests I worked with. Though it was challenging most of the people in the congregations accepted my changes and accepted my continued ministry. I have a hope that The Episcopal Church can be accepting and nurturing of all Trans people everywhere.
For these reasons, I look to this General Convention to affirm the right of Trans people to be full participants in or church. Three years ago, at the Convention in Anaheim, CA great strides were made. This year I hope we can to firm-up the rights of everyone to be considered for ordination. Collectively we hope to educate the Church about who we are and what we experience. Together we hope to meet the leaders of our Church.
