Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4
"A married father-of-two has become the Methodist Church's first transgender minister after coming out to a congregation in the U.K.
Joy Everingham, a 46-year-old university chaplain who serves at St. Peter's in Canterbury, revealed plans to come out as transgender to church elders before becoming ordained last summer and receiving their support.
Everingham became a Christian at age 15, describing it as a life-changing experience, and later got married at the age of 22. Ruth, Everingham's wife, was unaware of the secret life her husband was living for eight years, in which time the couple had their first child.
At 27 years of age, Everingham traveled to a transgender club, describing that as a defining moment in life.
At 41, Everingham trained for two years to become a minister with the Methodist Church, and eventually spoke with senior church leaders, who gave the minister their full support to continue transitioning into a woman." CP
