The Rev. Christina-Jean Alexis
United Church of Christ
Mt. Vernon, NY
This stole was the one I wore at my last worship service; I have begun a voluntary leave of absence. I was born an intersexual-transsexual, and am post-operative for over 20 years. My favorite Bible verses are Galatians 3:28 (“There is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, slave nor free, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”) and these words of hope in my ministry from Matthew 19:26: “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” I preach salvation through Jesus Christ, who is the greatest possibility-thinker who ever lived!
