“I dream of the day when Christian congregations will embrace the prophetic universalism of Isaiah: ‘For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel: I will gather others to them besides those already gathered'” ~ Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott
“The journey of a transgender person, like the journey of the Children of Israel, involves leaving everything known for the promise of something completely unknown. And even if what is known is mitzrayim, it is terrifying. And their lives depend on it. And even when they are ready, they still must contend with Pharaoh who does not want to let them go.” ~ Rabbi Ayelet Cohen
A wonderful documentary film, “Call Me Malcom” about a UCC seminary student who transitioned while he was in seminary is available on DVD. This would be a good resource to use for opening a discussion with your friends who may want to know more about transgender issues. www.callmemalcolm.com.
