Crossing Paths: Transgender Welcome and Ministry

Presenters: Alex Kapitan, Rev. Paul J. Langston-Daley, Rev. Joshua M. Pawelek

Sponsors: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Ministries and Transgender Religious Professional Unitarian Universalists Together

As a pioneer in gay/lesbian justice movements, Unitarian Universalism is now called to be a leader in celebrating the T of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). This workshop explored ministry with and for transgender individuals and communities, discussing how congregations can be more welcoming and how this welcome can extend beyond the congregation.
