Dear friend,
International Non-Binary People’s Day graces us every year on July 14. Marking the midpoint between International Men’s Day and International Women’s Day. Gender does not simply fit into binary boxes, but is rather a vibrant and diverse continuum.
We believe that all of humanity is created in the image of God, who is not limited to the traditional binary of male and female. Our expansive Divine Creator is infinitely varied, encompassing all identities and experiences. God is the original They/Them.
Scripture teaches us that each and every person is sacred and holds an intrinsic worth, independent of their gender identity. In our faith, we strive to mirror this divine example of radical inclusion, extending our love and respect to all, while celebrating the sacred worth of our non-binary siblings. Just as our scriptures invite us into transformative love and liberation, we are called to affirm and uphold the identities and experiences of our non-binary family, seeing in them the divine reflection of God’s unlimited diversity and boundless love.
Today, we, as a community rich in diversity, celebrate our own identities, our own strengths, and our unique roles in creating this beautifully varied tapestry of human existence. Non-binary members of our congregation are part of us, shaping and embodying the identity of our collective, enriching us with diverse perspectives and experiences.
