22.01.2022 Friday November 20th, is Transgender Day of remembrance and this year we remember the 350 trans and gender diverse children of God who were murdered since last year. Sadly this year has seen an increase on last years numbers, up from 331. Each one a child of God who reflects God's image. Each one someone who we as Christians are called to love and to fight for their rights. Let us take a moment to remember.
