Mosaic Austin and Vox Veniae Austin. Description : Three churches talk about their experiences of pastoring artists through non-conventional means and settings, the insights gained, mistakes made, and the hope of lives restored. Austen elaborates: "Their fear of separation, fear of being forgotten, fear of being kept out of God's family--all based on identities as unchosen as the place of their birth and as intrinsic as the shape of their body.
Their fears were my fears too. Yet here was God. This is an unequivocal refutation of Deuteronomy which expelled eunuchs not only from places of worship but from society.

In Matthew, "Jesus singles out eunuchs, the gender-nonconforming people of the ancient world, as an example of people uniquely gifted for discipleship in the kingdom of heaven: 'Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can'" As Austen explains, "He [Jesus] may have been speaking about people who were born with diverse sex characteristics, in the case of intersex folks, about people who had been castrated against their will, as many eunuchs were in biblical times, and about people who had chosen a life outside of their assigned sex" Historically, it is a fact that it wasn't until that the Council of Nicaea made discriminatory rules about eunuchs becoming a clergyperson They also made other discriminatory rules of women as well—but that is another story.
One must ask by what authority did the Council act? David Hester points out, 'There is absolutely no suggestion that to be a eunuch is to be someone who is in any way in need of fixing, healing or reintegrating into society. Instead the eunuch is held up as the model to follow. He saw them as people with a variety of experiences and as people with something important to teach the world about God's kingdom. This complicates some Christians' belief that God wants all of us to be cisgender and male or female, and that the binary itself is required or natural" Isaiah's paring of eunuchs and foreigners is repeated in Acts chapter 8 when Phillip was specifically instructed to approach a eunuch from Ethiopia--keep in mind he was "outside the boundaries of gender, race, class, and religion" [an example we call today: intersectional] Justin Tanis notes that unusualness of the encounter as well—a liminal in-between space called the "wilderness"—suggests God works "outside of human boundaries and conventions" Austen explicates I Corinthians ,26 to mean that "no member of the body of Christ is dispensable, no member can deem any other person unnecessary, and just because someone does decide to say someone else is dispensable or unnecessary does not make it true" Austen throws some science in for good measure: Ann Fausto-Sterling "argues that sex is also socially constructed, because there's nothing in nature that decides whether XX or XY chromosomes or testicles and ovaries should be categorized as male or female or something else altogether" How should churches help transgender Christians?
The research of Anneliese Singh, a professor of counseling and human development provides some suggestions. Singh noted there are "five things that predicted high resilience: the ability to create and define your own sense of self; the recognition of your own self-worth; awareness of oppression, so that you can protect yourself [beware gaslighting!

Reading this book was like getting to continue the conversation. I wanted to hear what Austen had to say so I could share it with someone close to me. I was so touched by what I read. I will probably need to go read it again because this first time through was an emotional roller coaster.

Apr 26, Nikki Hastings rated it it was amazing Shelves: trans. ARC received via NetGalley. I read this with my wife, who is a trangender Christian herself. We were both deeply moved and oftentimes found that the author had spelled out feelings, thoughts and ideas we had experienced but had been unable to put into words. This book has since been recommended to our priest and church book club. We have also ordered a print copy for our personal bookshelf. Queer Christian voices are so rare- queer transgender voices are rarer still.
We need more books like this.
