Description

Joann Carver, a 73-year-old transgender woman, was denied baptism by her church in Ely, Cambridgeshire, due to her gender identity. Despite completing the pre-baptism course and being ready to join, she was told to wear trousers and grow a beard to show more change. The rejection left her feeling inhuman and ashamed, leading her to leave the church and find acceptance at Renew Inclusive Church in Cambridge. Joann finally got baptized, expressing her joy and relief.
