Transgender Awareness Week

✠

As the most well-known forum globally for LGBTQ advocacy in the Orthodox Church, we in the worldwide Orthodoxy in Dialogue family extend best wishes, much love, and many prayers to our transgender brothers, sisters, and siblings, to their families, and to their allies. 

We pray especially for your joy, your thriving, and your safety, within your homes, your workplaces, your schools, your faith communities, and the wider society in which you live.

God holds you tightly in His embrace, as do His Most-Pure Mother with all the saints and angels of heaven. The ocean of divine love for you is infinitely deeper than you can possibly imagine.

See our extensive Sexuality and Gender section in both Archives linked at the top of this page.

A most blessed and spiritual Nativity Fast to all our brothers and sisters who begin today.
