Today, we honor the memory of transgender humans who have lost their lives to transphobic violence over the past year.

We affirm our transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming beloveds as full image-bearers of God. As they face disproportionate levels of abuse, discrimination, and violence, we recognize their courage to face each day authentically.

We pray for our trans and nonbinary siblings in Christ that they may one day live full lives without fear of harm. May we always advocate for their worthiness, dignity, rights, and safety.
