WASHINGTON — An openly transgender Episcopal
priest is set to preach at Washington National Cathedral.
The Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge, the
Episcopal chaplain at Boston University, will be a guest preacher on
Sunday. He’ll be the first openly transgender priest to preach from Canterbury
Pulpit at the cathedral.
The Right Rev. Gene Robinson, the
first openly gay Episcopal bishop, will preside at the service. It’s part of
the cathedral’s celebration of LGBT pride month.
The service will also include
readings and prayers from members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender community.
The Very Rev. Gary Hall, dean of the
cathedral, says he hopes Partridge’s appearance “will send a symbolic message
in support of greater equality for the transgender community.”
Damn...he's cute!
