Hi Barbara, We certainly are welcoming of all people. When we sing "All Are Welcome," we really mean it. Thanks, Tom! Point of clarification (before some church friends ridicule us). We do not re-baptize, but we do liturgical renaming rites for trans people so they may realize God's baptismal claim for them in their newly realized name and gender identity. Thank you, Barbara, for your witness of welcome and inclusion to the Havertown community and beyond!

Yes. It is. I have a transgender friend who was rebaptized as a man after his transition.
