To the Rev. Colleen Darraugh, the church's senior pastor, radical inclusion means having an ongoing program, providing a safe space, networking and catching people wherever they are in their journey to discovering what gender means to them.
"We're looking at providing a safe environment to explore what it means to have gender, gender identity and gender expression, to be two-spirit or questioning," Darraugh said.
