Kyle asks, "How does your gender identity relate to your baptismal identity?"

And I wrestled with a possible answer I might give to this tough question. But then one Sunday sitting in the pew as the preacher read the gospel for the day I had my answer. From I Corinthians, Chapter 12; Verses 13 & 14 he read, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many.” Continue reading to the end of Chapter 12 and you will believe as I do that as the eyes, ears, feet are members of the body so are we lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender and yes, heterosexual people, who may be different members but all have been baptized into one body.
