From here:
As the first openly ordained transgender deacon in the Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land, Theo Robinson feels called by God to help heal the rift between LGBTTQ*people and the church.
“I want to show people who are afraid to go to church (because of their sexuality) they are welcome,” said Robinson, 40.
“I want to help heal the wounds of those who have been rejected.”
Robinson, who works in spiritual care at Misericordia Place, was ordained May 1 to serve as a transitional deacon — someone on the path to priesthood.
Theo Robinson was born Theresa Jennifer Robinson but now describes herself as a man in spite of the fact that she possesses no Y chromosome.
I don’t doubt her sincerity or wish her anything but God’s blessings. Nevertheless, I find myself wondering why an Anglican Diocese whose task it is to encourage parishioners to find their true identities in Christ, should choose someone so confused about her own identity to help them do it.
Looks like Rupert’s Land jumped the “Who am I to judge?” Roman queue (never a good idea for post-Tridentine ‘Protestants’ – Romans progress doctrine; + Romans 1:16,17 Protestants Reform/Save sinners).
The Pontifex Maximus’ June 10/19 ‘Male and Female Created He Them’ counters the Trans “Utopia of the neuter” (v. text at ‘Lifesitenews’).
C.c. the former 2018 Moderator, PCC, re. his 145 GA June 7/19 “amendment” to the PCC’s LGBTQI redefinition of Biblical marriage:namely, to “change how we structure ourselves so to have unity among ourselves and unity among the Holy Catholic Church.”
Parses: no Biblical doctrine; no Biblical Courts, no Biblical spiritual discipline
All cross-dressed up and nowhere to go?
Correction: June 6/19.
