Colm Holmes, spokesperson for We Are Church Ireland, draws our attention to an article on www.newwaysministry.org by Deacon Ray Dever from Florida. Deacon Dever attended the World Meeting of Families in Dublin last year. He assisted at the Papal mass. He is the father of a Transgender daughter and a Bisexual daughter.
In this New Ways Ministry article he asks “Is there Hope?” about the Vatican’s new document on Gender.

    This event today and yesterday gives a glimpse of a future of Christian community that constrasts tellingly with the ghastly shackles of our clericalism (as manifested especially in our frozen liturgy in which the expressive charisms of the faithful are stifled). “The old order changeth yielding place to new/ And God fulfils himself in many ways.”
