It is time to change the conversation about the Divinity of Trans people. All proceeds from this fundraiser will support the #BlackTransPrayerBook
The #BLACKTRANSPRAYERBOOK
The #BlackTransPrayerBook is an interfaith, multi-dimensional, artistic and theological work that collects the stories, poems, prayers, meditation, spells, and incantations of Black TGNC contributors. Often pushed out of Faith spaces and yet still deeply connected to a historical legacy of spiritual essentiality, Black TGNC People face unprecedented amounts of spiritual, physical, and psychological violence. The Black Trans Prayer Book is a tool of healing, and affirmation centered on uplifting Black TGNC people and celebrating our place within faith.
What does it mean to have a faith practice that simultaneously challenges white supremacy and transphobia? Where is there a theological framework that centers the most marginalized and creates pathways towards an active spirituality moving alongside social justice? How might a spiritual practice not in tune with these questions cause harm? The #BlackTransPrayerBook, is holding these very questions.
Be you Organization, Congregation, Ally, Accomplice, Friend or Family member we ask, will you join us in funding this incredible work and divine process that centers Black Trans People and celebrates our history and contributions within and to Faith?

I am a nonbinary seminarian who loves to see more resources coming out for trans people of faith. I am white myself, but I know this resource will be invaluable for Black trans folks and I want to do what I can to support it.
Y’all are doing amazing things
Because trans people are truly Divine❤️
Mase’s liturgy (esp Josephine) is so holy to me and the community I serve. So grateful for this work in the world!
