a Video Sermon

Rev. Amanda Weatherspoon from River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Bethesda, MD, presents a sermon titled “Transcending the Binary”.  International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual event occurring on March 31st dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society. As our world is breaking open with new possibilities of defining ourselves and understanding one another, we often find barriers to becoming who we truly are. Sometimes it seems as though society has decided for us who we are supposed to be, often giving us very few options for authentic growth. How can we transcend the binaries that so rigidly define who we are in this world? How can we lean into one another, our faith, and our community as we journey these unknown paths of self discovery and transformation?
Tamara Murray will lead the service
