Norwich Diocese: Diocesan Day Conference on Gender, Inclusion and Transgender People

How ‘Gender Aware’ is your church? This Diocesan Day aims to help us consider issues of inclusion, the place of transgender people in the Church and the broader issue of gender and its implications for Christian communities. This day is with the Rev’d Canon Rosie Harper and the Rev’d Dr Christina Beardsley.
