“Being transgender is difficult. Being a transgender person of faith is even more so. Being a transgender Catholic priest sets the bar even higher. In her book, transgender Catholic bishop Lynn Walker shows that being transgender is compatible with Christ’s teachings. ‘Part of the beauty and wonder of the LGBTQ communities,’ she writes, ‘is that we see it as a source of grace and redemption.’ This book affirms that God loves his transgender creation unconditionally.”

“Bishop Lynn Walker’s description of her experience of being trans calls for empowerment at a time when that is desperately needed in the world. She links her experiences to the gospel in a compelling way that makes you want to read more, learn more, and be more. Her integration of examples from early Christian writers into her own life and those of others who are trans is inspiring and is definitely a move Forward!”
