"I don’t know where I’ll land next, but I know I’ll land as my authentic self,” sHE wrote.

No, you'll spend your life LARPing as a woman. Nothing authentic about any of that.

Most Baptist churches don't allow women pastors. That particular branch does but some sources indicate that they don't allow homosexual pastors. So I'm not really sure what this person was expecting.

I mostly feel sorry for the wife and kids.

I don't know about Canadian churches, but in the US many Southern Baptist churches don't allow women to be pastors or to even hold any leadership roles. Not all congregations follow that rule, but many do.

Good to see some religious organisations have some backbone unlike the church of england

I don't know why June is surprised. A lot of Christians think their bodies were "made by God" so to reject your birth sex is to reject God's "plan" for your life. I'm not Christian and don't believe those things but transgenderism kinda rejects the "God doesn't make mistakes" line of thought. At least he's finally fessing up. Personally if I was a member of his flock I would've hated turning to him about personal female specific issues thinking that he could relate and then later learning he's male....

Person wanted to be a woman and gets upset when they are treated like a woman. Most Baptists don't want female pastors so if this person is now a woman...the only spaces this person now belongs are the unpaid positions.

Honestly, that's sad. Though I hope she learned her lesson...

Did anyone watch a video of this guy? I have a hard time believing no one knew he was trans until he "came out"... He has a totally normal dude voice (no attempt to sound feminine at all) and uses very male body language.
