religious communities, including:

* Strategies for transgender education
* Dynamics of ministry with the transgender community
* Blessings and challenges of becoming more visible
* Opportunities for collaboration across denominational lines
* Our need for authentic relationships of support and accountability
between transgender people and our allies

Our emphasis will be on creating conversations and dialogue in and about
transgender religious community -- both formally and informally.

Nemecek, Archbishop Demond Tutu, Bishop Yvette Flunder, and many more!

transgender pre-event is a community oriented event, focused on developing
community connections in the transgender religious community. Please

While we will place a high priority on hearing from transgender-identified
people, this event is also appropriate for our significant others and family

transgender people and our concerns.
