President Donald Trump has unveiled a new counterterrorism strategy that dramatically reshapes the federal government's definition of domestic extremism, elevating what the administration describes as "violent secular political groups" and "radically pro-transgender" movements into central national security concerns alongside Islamist terrorism and drug cartels.
We’re not perfect, but we’re trying; we have openly Queer (including trans clergy) and have re-written our canon on marriage to include same-sex marriage. I’m a priest in this church. Never imagined that the Trans flag that is hanging on my wall in my office (given to me by a fellow demonstrator at a No Kings protest last year) would possibly land me in jail some day.
But seriously, at this point it is the duty of any Christian, if they truly believe in Jesus, to stand with Trans folks and proclaim anti-fascism. Because this is where Jesus would be standing.
I was raised episcopal as a kid. Episcopalian on my mom’s side, Catholic on my dad’s. This was in the 1970s and early 80s. I remember our church would invite this particular female pastor to give a guest sermon on a regular basis. And in that era it was radical for a woman to be a minister.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.

once had a friend describe Episcopalians as: A lot like Catholics, but with logic and sense instead of dogma and rapists.
