Crossing Paths: Where Transgender and Religion Meet was published in 2003 as a 114 page PDF by the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns.

While this UUA resource is not exclusively Christian, Crossing Paths was one of the first readily available PDF format anthology in the “transgender spring.” The PDF was originally available on the UUA’s website. However, the copy we link to is a copy retained on the Transfaith website.

From the preface by Mr. Barb Greve:

Preface I believe there is power in all words: drawn, signed, spoken, sung, and written. People who have struggled with transgender identity and issues wrote this powerful collection of words for you… This collection is my attempt to remind all of us that religious people are involved in transgender issues and transgender people are leading religious lives. We lead intersecting lives, where paths cross and plurality begins.
