Reverend Junia Joplin has provided an excerpt from a recent sermon delivered to her congregation during Pride on the second anniversary of her coming out.   More about Junia Joplin - After 20-plus years in Baptist ministry, Rev. Junia Joplin (she/her) now serves on the clergy team at the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto - a vibrant, inclusive, and progressive faith community and human rights church. Junia is either a basic suburban hockey mom or a sign of the apocalypse, depending on who you ask. We look forward to having Junia join us for a full episode soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more about her work, here's a link to <a href='https://www.pastorjune.com/'>Junia's personal website</a> and a <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adX8Av5SdmE'>link to the full sermon</a> from which her reading was selected."   <p>In Trans-Forming Proclamation, Liam Hooper tenderly explores gender and the Bible.
