As people of faith, we are called to be a prophetic and active force for justice and radical belonging in our world, both inside and outside our congregational walls. In our nation today, we know that trans and nonbinary lives are under real threat. The current political moment is a dangerous and terrifying one for trans people and their loved ones, as harmful anti-trans rhetoric and legislation escalates across the country. 

Come expand your understanding of what it means to be trans and nonbinary, learn how to tell fact from fiction, and find out how to help create the conditions of safety and belonging for trans people and their families, within our congregations and beyond. No matter who you are or how much or how little you know about gender diversity, this interactive and informative workshop will expand your mind, open your heart, and give all of us the tools we need to deepen our welcome and care for people of all genders in our community.
