Who Are You?

“This gift of the epiphany that there is a disjuncture between our outward and inward selves that doesn’t have to be this way, and the witness of the courage it takes not only to name but claim our truest identity, to love that truest identity, fully to live into that truest identity is part of the deep gift those among us who are transgender have for the rest of this body. Why those among us who are transgender are indispensable to the body of Christ, with a life and witness indispensable to each and all of our liberation. Those among us who are trans are uniquely equipped to be the gathered community’s Sherpas on this courageous journey of rejecting all that the world tells us we are and claiming all that God knows that we are. The courageous journey of confounding expectations and shedding shackles that comes from singing the answer to the question Who. Are. You?” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, February 27, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Exodus 34:29-35 and Luke 9:28-43. Watch the sermon on YouTube.
