When I was in Boston this weekend I took my friend to Copley Square because it has, in my experience, two of the most beautiful churches in the country. Outside of Old South Church (a United Church of Christ church), there was this sign. Big. And it was amazing how great I felt to see Trans on there. I imagine it would be the same for someone who was homeless or a recovering addict or bisexual or something else that people often judge you for - or who had an identity that has made other religious communities abandon you or shame you. It also wasn’t just listed with things that are “problems” or difficult. It was listed with Male and Female, with Nerd and Cool Kid… I just think this sign is so powerful and I wanted to share it with everyone.
I like the idea of a church saying directly and publicly “Hey you’re trans (and this and this and that) and you’re ‘beloved.’”
“Beloved” brought tears to my eyes.
YOU ARE DOING CHRISTIANITY RIGHT. <3
I don’t see things like this often enough, so when I saw this, I thought I should share. Because sometimes, even a jaded skeptic atheist like me can be made to smile when they do it right.

Things like this give me faith in my religion. I truly from the bottom of my heart can’t understand how judgmental and closed minded some “Christians” can be. Jesus DIDN’T turn people away, who are you to? I really want to visit this church one day, just to meet a group of people who seem to truly get Christianity.
