Hello friends,

TransFaith Online is excited to announce the launch of a new Audio/Video project, called For Such a Time as This. This project picks up where the (cancelled) New Orleans event left off.  While Hurricane Gustav prevented us from gathering in New Orleans in September 2008, several of the intended speakers have been able to gather via conference call!  We are now working diligently to prepare the results for posting online.

The first of our resulting audio sessions is now available online in its entirety (42 minutes). Vickie Boisseau and Randy Klein join in the "Diversity" panel discussion to talk about crossdressing, intersex, and gender fluidity (among other things!).

In addition, we have prepared a 4-minute Vimeo/YouTube video with excerpts from Randy's portion of the conversation, where he talks about crossdressing, suicide, getting healthy, and his new ministry.  Please embed freely and spread the word!

P.S. Preparing the audio and video segments is time-consuming.  We welcome additional sponsors to join in this project. Please contact Chris Paige (215-840-2858 or chris (at) transfaithonline (dot) org) for more information on sponsorship opportunities.
