""not becoming a woman" but rather, "giving up pretending to be a man.""
""I'm surrounded by loving kindness," she said. "The affirmations have been amazing.""
""What will stay the same," she said, "is my commitment to the good news of Jesus Christ, our togetherness in ministry, (unfortunately for all of you) my personality, my style of teaching, my style of preaching, my adhd brain type (you're welcome), my sense of humor - none of that is changing.""
Rev. Dr. Phillippa "Pastor Phil" Phaneuf announced her transgender identity during a sermon and clarified she is not becoming a woman but giving up pretending to be a man. Appearance, voice, clothes, and pronouns will change, while commitment to the good news of Jesus Christ, togetherness in ministry, personality, teaching and preaching styles, ADHD traits, and sense of humor will remain. Messages of love have far outnumbered hate, and congregants reported feeling grounded and less overwhelmed. Patience is being extended to those who need more time to accept the change, acknowledging that change can be difficult.
