What are the intersections of transgender identity and religious experience? How does being trans impact faith formation? And what lessons does that experience hold for all of us? These questions will be explored in a worship service led by Jamez Terry, founder of the Tranny Roadshow and MDiv candidate at Harvard Divinity School.
Service followed by a workshop titled Understanding (Trans)Gender Identity
In this interactive workshop, led by Jamez and Julia Terry, participants will gain an understanding of gender identity, how it fits into all of our lives, and how we can talk clearly about it with one another. We will explore what it means to be transgender and how, as a faith community, we can become more welcoming to all of the people in our midst. Unsure what the words even mean or how to begin talking about it? This is the place for you. Know a little bit but have questions or want to deepen your understanding? It’s the place for you. Already have a nuanced understanding of gender and trans identities but wish to have more public conversation about how to fully live into our role as a Welcoming Congregation? Yes, this is the place for you, too! Please join us after the service on April 15. RSVP for the workshop to firstchjp@aol.com
