My Quest for a Spiritual Home by Rachel (Richard) Miller
Coming Out to my Congregation
by Brenda Thompson
As a church family you have been wonderful to me as Bob, and it is my sincere desire and prayer that this will continue as my life continues to change, and as I enter my new gender role as Brenda.A Presbyterian Clergywoman speaks on "deceit" by Rev. Dr. Erin K. Swenson
So I deeply disagree with the charge that I am being deceitful and a source of shame for the people of God. On the contrary, I believe that the truth I live in is a truth the people of God are struggling to understand.

In His love no walls between us, / In His love a common ground. / Kneeling at the cross of Jesus, /All our pride comes tumbling down.Don't Forgive Me by StarChild

Scripture and Intersexuality
Intersexuality
and Scripture by Sally Gross
It's hard to change gender in private! I found a supportive church at First Baptist of Berkeley and then thought, "There must be one in Iowa City," and there was. I am Episcopalian, and have been accepted fully at Trinity Church in Iowa City. My style is not gender-challenging: I regard myself as just one of the ladies of the church.
