Pastoral Guidance on the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith

Pastoral Guidance for use in conjunction with the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith in the context of gender transition.

New guidance for parishes wishing to use the rite of Affirmation of Baptismal Faith in the context of gender transition in adults has been published by the Church of England. The pastoral guidance does not pre-empt the work of the Living in Love and Faith process, by which the Church of England continues to consider transgender matters as it produces a new set of teaching and learning resources on identity, sexuality and marriage.
