Transgender woman in Kansas says MCC returned faith in God
”I wondered if God had made a mistake, abandoned me or was angry at me…. I was spiritually bankrupt. I never lost my faith in God, but I had stopped believing God would do anything for me…. [Attending Metropolican Community Church as a woman] was like being born again. Everything up to that time was an existence. Nothing up to that point was real…. God is a god of diversity. God didn’t make one kind of tree, or rock or metal or planet. To think God created just one kind of human being is absurd.”
Stephanie Mott, a transgender woman in Topeka, Kansas, who shared her story of spiritual self-discovery and recovery from addiction with the Topeka Capital-Journal. (CJOnline.com)
