This course was developed for UU congregations, but is relevant to all faith traditions. It is intended for everyone from those new to trans identity to those with years of life experience who want to learn and create a fully-inclusive and affirming congregation. Each session will consist of a 45- to 60-minute pre-recorded lecture by Rev. Mykal Slack and Zr. Alex Kapitan, moments for reflection and deep conversation facilitated by members of the Trans Initiative Team.
Sessions will run the following Sundays after service from noon-2pm in the UUFM Meeting Room. Childcare will be provided.
