Church of England campaign group attitudes to trans, intersex and non-binary people

We, diverse members of the human race, are one body, and the groups within the Christian Church that identify as progressive and inclusive, OneBodyOneFaith, Together, Equal, Changing Attitude England, Inclusive Evangelicals, Open Table Network and LGB Christians, Modern Church, Inclusive Church, Student Christian Movement, WATCH, Sea of Faith and Progressive Christianity Movement,

need to address the challenges presented by this year’s attacks on our identities and freedoms – and reform our relationships to create a unified working Body.

I repeat: The Church of England is systemically abusive

I repeat: The Church of England is systemically abusive

Transgender and Intersex friends of mine and the wider Transgender and Intersex networks to which they belong are angry at the way they feel the LLF process abused them. The serious concerns reported repeatedly by some have not been taken onboard. From my liminal place in relation to the Church of England my perspective is clearly at odds with those who are committed to the protection and preservation of the institution. I do not see best practice or the highest interests of LGBTI+ people being upheld.
