Transgendered priest to give sermon at Washington National Cathedral

From The Washington Times-

The most visible Episcopal church in the U.S. is hosting its first openly transgender priest this month.

The Dean of the cathedral, the Rev. Gary Hall, said in a statement that he hopes Mr. Partridge’s presence sends a message of support for the transgender community.

Rev. Cameron Partridge is set to give the June 22 sermon at the Washington National Cathedral in Northwest.

“We at Washington National Cathedral are striving to send a message of love and affirmation, especially to LGBT youth who suffer daily because of their gender identity or sexual orientation,” he said. “We want to proclaim to them as proudly and unequivocally as we can: Your gender identity is good and your sexual orientation is good because that’s the way that God made you.”
