Today I am announcing my candidacy for Vice President of the Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies. Should the House elect a lay person as president, I would be honored to work with the president in governance that fosters our participation in mission. 1/16 #GC81

We appreciate this thoughtful response from Vice-President of the House of Deputies Rachel Taber-Hamilton to our recent letter regarding proposed changes to the @HouseDeps rules of order (sounds dry; is actually important stakes!).

Title IV complaints of this type, regarding discrimination and general abuse of employees and those under a senior clergy within a decade of retirement... generally go nowhere. The decades of implemented policy to discriminate may make this an exception. We can hope for justice.
The Episcopal Church has prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation since 1994, and on gender identity and expression since 2012— but systemic discrimination and abusive behavior persists. Will we uphold our own canons?

In particular, we have seen our transgender siblings targeted. And if you are among them, I want you to know and remember that you are created by God, in the image of God, and that is God decreed.

I'm mindful that this is a difficult time for our LGBTQ+ family and siblings, for my friends. More than 70 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been enacted so far this year. And this morning’s Supreme Court decision will only add pain and difficulty.
