Summit ends with pledge to form permanent roundtable on transgender religious issues

BERKELEY, CA  A diverse group of religious leaders, activists, and scholars closed their summit today with a pledge to begin meeting regularly for a first-of-its-kind roundtable on transgender religious issues. The two-day conference, Transgender Religious Summit II  Freeing faith communities from gender conformity, was co-sponsored by the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at Pacific School of Religion (CLGS) and the National Center for Transgender Equality in Washington, DC. Following the success of the first Transgender Religious Summit held in 2007, Pacific School of Religion is the only Christian seminary to have held conferences exclusively focusing on transgender religious issues.

perhaps TG are the people who are supposed to find salvation without religion.  They might be a bit late to the party.
