I shook the dust off my feet of the places I tread in the old place. This year I am getting surgeries in the new state and looks like I may be getting married too. I have been back in the fold of the Episcopal Church where I belong. Ironically it was three female clergy in FW that gave me all my problems! -- Teresa Cross<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430088215661078703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006145901968127634.post-13881793396277130672013-07-11T22:17:57.466-04:002013-07-11T22:17:57.466-04:00 I spent a year at a parish church in the Episcopa... I spent a year at a parish church in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. The rector continually gave me problems for being a transwoman. I began writing letters and emails to rememdy the situation. Eventually, I changed parishes and ran into the same problem. I finally came to the conclusion that the diocese was too conservative and quit. A few people were very acrimonious about my leaving. I finally left the Episcopal Church because I was continually hurt. I gave up. ---Teresa CrossAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430088215661078703noreply@blogger.com
