Friends in Christ,
As your rector, I remain firmly committed to respecting the dignity of every human being. I believe unequivocally that transgender people, as all people, are created fully and beautifully in the image of God. I believe parents, teachers, and churches are called to support all children as they navigate their identity as children of God. I believe it is morally reprehensible for our elected officials to target an already vulnerable group of children with tactics that instill fear and endanger lives. I believe it is irresponsible leadership to inflame people with inaccurate information so that they may harm their neighbors. I remain committed to the continual creation of a parish that is kind, loving, and supportive of transgender people, particularly teenagers, and their families.
I invite you all into fervent prayer for the safety of all transgender persons, and to work to resist all efforts to harm them.
Finally, as always, our clergy and staff are available for conversation, support, and prayer, particularly for those most affected by this issue.
Peace,
