Is the Church of England about to get even gayer? A new proposal, asking the church's General Synod to create a special ceremony to celebrate a person's sex-change, says that it might.
The new transsexual naming ritual was given a trial run, when Rev. Chris Newlands, Vicar of Lancaster Priory, was asked by a transsexual if he could be re-baptized. According to the Guardian, Newlands told the person, “I said: ‘Let me have a think about it’. So we did and then we created a service, which was an affirmation of baptismal vows where we could introduce him to God with his new name and his new identity."

| Hybrids |
New identity as what? A woman/man hybrid, created by chemicals and surgery? This state of being, we're told by Joe Biden and others, is the "greatest civil rights issue of our time." Obviously the world and the dwindling Church of England can't wait to address it soon enough.

| Where's the Transsexual? |
In the meanwhile, Christians believe that God created us male and female. Go right ahead and believe something else, but don't call it Christian and don't expect that very many people will be fooled if you do.
