Transgender Outreach
In 2022, St Columba's appointed Chrissie Chevasutt as our Outreach and Development Worker with Transgender, Intersex and non-binary people.
In addition to working with individuals needing support, information and advice, the role also covers providing information and support to churches looking to strengthen their understanding of the issues and welcome to Trans and GNC people.
The role also includes contributing to reflection upon the issues of Gender Identity, Inclusion and Faith - and the exploration and laying of foundations for ongoing work in this field.
The initiative is rooted in the long standing work of St Columba’s United Reformed Church, Oxford, with a wide range of people in the LGBTI+ community.
The appointment was made for three years from January 2022.
Chrissie's contact details are on the Contact Us page.
