Episode Synopsis "Face to face with Helen Belcher, transwoman"

How should a church welcome people who are different? City Road Methodist Church invited transwoman Helen Belcher to describe her journey from male to female and how her fellow worshippers reacted.  Helen outlines what she believes to be the Biblical position on trans people, briefly describes the appropriate use of toilet facilities, and offers advice to those who feel their gender assignment is wrong.  Above all she asks that trans people be treated just like anyone else, and not seen as an issue.
