CARROLLTON — With a free pancake supper, Metropolitan Community Church of Dallas kicked off its new Gender Journey project, whose goal is to make the church radically inclusive of the transgender and gender-nonconforming community.

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.

I did a stint as a volunteer at an AIDS hospice, unfortunately Jesus didn't get much representation there other than a few patients and myself. Kind of pissed me off!
