International Transgender Day of Remembrance

Note: You can watch the Vigil Service November 20th @ 6:00pm MST on the Mountain Sky Conference Facebook page here.

God of all creation, whose wisdom and love is boundless. You have many names and you are beyond all divisions of gender. We have many names for our sexual and gender identities. We give you thanks for the diversity of sexuality and gender. At times we deny that diversity by holding too strongly and tightly to the divisions that we ourselves create. 

As we come together to remember those transgender people who have been killed, taken their own lives, or been injured, help us to honour their identities, and the identities of all people. 

Help us to create a world where everyone can live with authenticity and dignity.    Help us all; who belong to every sexuality and gender, to live our own lives in true fulfilment of our different identities, in fellowship with each other and in the Love of Christ. Amen
