There remains a lack of knowledge and understanding about trans
people in the church, and trans people who are religious can
experience bias in their faith communities. With the help of their
many years of experience working with trans people negotiating
their relationships with religious institutions, the authors (one
of whom is trans) have created this accessible, valuable guide that
will educate and improve churches' relationship with trans people.
Combining first-hand interviews, the authors' own experiences and
scripture analysis, this thought-provoking guide uses this
combination of ancient and contemporary stories to outline a
theology that welcomes and includes all people whatever their
gender identity or sexual orientation. Written from this inclusive
Christian perspective, the book answers questions about trans
people that are specific to church communities.
