Important Episcopal Church history here on how we became a trans-affirming church - thank you @revsusanrussell.bsky.social for reminder us of how far we have come and where we need to go! ⚓️

May we be instruments of your love, working to create a world where all are seen, valued, and affirmed in their full dignity. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we lift up our trans and nonbinary siblings, celebrating their courage, resilience, and the gifts they bring to the world. Grant us the wisdom to listen, the compassion to support, and the strength to stand against injustice and discrimination.

A prayer for this #TransDayOfVisibility, as we honor the sacred beauty, courage, and resilience of our trans and nonbinary siblings:
Loving and inclusive God, we give thanks for the diversity of your creation and for the beauty of every person made in your image. (1/3)
This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the many women who lead this community!
We are so grateful for our all-woman Canon team and Bishop—we're the only cathedral in the United States with this distinction!—and the 13 women on staff who lead with such vision, dedication, and grace.
"When trans folks are able to become who they truly are, it is a Transfiguration, too."
Love is a transfiguring truth, friends. Be sure to watch Shana's unflinching, resolute sermon from this Transfiguration Sunday in full: youtube.com/watch?v=xlfg2NrBWHQ ⚓
We moved to an electronic-only model in the pandemic and haven't looked back!
We have a seasonal leaflet with the structure of the service and all of the seasonal music and prayers for those who want to be (quite understandably) device-free in church. 👍
