Gene Robinson to Meet With Dallas Transgender Activists
Monday, November 3, 2008 • 10:43 am
Anyone know if the Bishop of Dallas has given permission for the boundary crossing?
Bishop Robinson will attend a “Transgender Conversation” with the Dallas Transgender Advocates, and Allies(DTAA) to share with us his wisdom and faith and to learn of the transgender struggle for equality. Bishop Robinson has bravely stepped forward to answer questions regarding religion and it’s influence on progressive social action, and to share with us what he has learned from the recent Lambeth and how his diocese situation parallels the Queer and Transgenders class struggle against social, religious and political exclusionary and revisionist agendas.

Schori will call this “Missionary Work” but let a conservative traditional bishop do something like this and it would be called “Border Crossing” by Schori and her followers!
