On Today’s episode, we are thrilled to get an opportunity to talk with M Barclay. They are the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Enfleshed (https://enfleshed.com/) and the first openly nonbinary clergy of the United Methodist Church. We talked about M’s journey to becoming clergy, how they understand God, where trans folks fit in religion, and making churches safe and welcoming for the LGBTQ community. If you have ever thought about faith and how being trans fits with that, this is an interview you won’t want to miss. This episode is also required listening for church members who want to be welcoming to trans folks.
If you are looking for a church that embraces the LGBTQ community, check out church clarity. They do the work of scoring churches on how welcoming they are. https://www.churchclarity.org/scores
