As we approach Advent and Christmas we keep in mind the beauty of feeling represented in your faith and in church. I also lift up the beautiful artwork in this post..I wonder how many other people have created their own representation. Taylor Gold writes: Sometimes, during the Advent season, Christians make the mistake of clinging too hard on the idea of a Jesus that looks like them and only like them. This year, I've come across some incredible images of Mary and Child that can help remind us that Jesus did not just come for one niche group, he came for everyone. - Rev. Emma

One Small Step on our Affirming Journey.... Transgender Awareness Week, November 13-19, 2020 https://youtu.be/Z0pRoPaWfCE

Friends, Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, Friday November 20 Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is internationally recognized on November 20th every year. Wherever you are, please take a moment to pause and remember, or join an online vigil. ... This day raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people; it is a day to publicly mourn and honour the lives of those who might otherwise be erased and forgotten. 2020 is now the worst year on record for the murder of trans people worldwide. Please see https://www.tdor2020.com/ for more details. This day began in honour of Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 sparked the "Remembering Our Dead" web project. Her murder like most anti-transgender murder cases has yet to be solved. In 2020, as always, trans women who are Black, Indigenous and women of colour are the majority of those who we must, yet again, name as victims of hatred and violence. Please find a United Church resource here, and a Jewish prayer for the day here. Please check your local Pride Society for online vigils, as public vigils are very unlikely this year. Please consider these words of prayer: Spirit of life and love that resides within and among us, we enter this moment with all that we are, with an open heart, and with a love for justice. We hold in love and prayer all transgender people, so many of whom live under the weight of violence, fear, and intolerance. We hold in love and prayer all the ways that transgender people have survived and thrived in a hostile world. We hold in love and prayer all who recognize the significance of gender justice for all people. We who believe in freedom will not rest until it comes. We pray for the dawn of a new day when the very humanity of trans people is no longer called into question or ignored. We pray that physical, emotional, and spiritual violence will come to an end. We pray that a spirit of compassion and care will fill us to overflowing, that we may have the capacity to listen, learn, and grow not only in our awareness but also in our willingness to act. We pray for teachers, spiritual leaders, social workers, lawyers, and all people who heed the call to support Trans liberation, Trans leadership, and Trans visibility. May they ultimately lean into the Light of truth and justice, offering hope to Trans and gender nonconforming youth and adults. In the name of the teacher of love, Amen adapted from http://religiousinstitute.org//prayers-weekend-trans-just/
