text:  In this episode, we're following a religious institution, the Church of England, as they put forward a motion to affirm transgender people with the creation of a special liturgy. Kim Normanton, a radio producer based in England, was at the 2017 meeting of the General Synod of the Church of England when this motion was approved. Though the body voted in favor of the motion, there were also several votes against. One of these votes came from Dr. Ian Paul. I live in Nottingham.
