The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) developed the resource, Deepening Our Understanding: A Resource in Transgender Identity, authored by Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza and Rev. Shanea D. Leonard, to assist ministry leaders in fostering inclusivity and understanding within their congregations. This guide addresses common questions related to transgender identity, such as the concept of gender beyond the traditional binary framework and the alignment of transgender identities with being created in the image of God. By providing theological insights and promoting compassionate dialogue, the resource aims to equip church leaders with the knowledge to support transgender individuals effectively, thereby enhancing the church's commitment to inclusivity and the full dignity of all people.

The network creates collaborative spaces, equips leaders to navigate cultural change, and promotes experimental approaches to ministry.
