A New York City Episcopal priest declared Jesus transgender in a recent sermon and said denying that claim rejects his divinity. Reverend Flourish Klink delivered the message at Christ & St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, telling the congregation that God is non-binary and “actually also trans.” Klink, who considers herself a transgender nonbinary individual, framed the claim as central to Christian belief. Breitbart reported that a viral clip of the sermon captured Klink equating rejection of the idea with rejection of Christ’s divinity itself. The remarks arrived as similar progressive theological fights play out elsewhere in American church and political life. Klink built the case from modern gender language, not from the plain…Open
Aside from Reverend Flourish Klink, which other religious figures were mentioned in relation to progressive theological disputes in the article?
The article mentions Rev. Jim Rigby of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin, who questioned the resurrection, and Rev. Babs Miller, a chaplain at the same church, who cast doubt on the existence of Jesus or whether he died for the sins of humanity.

Q&A ID ddc4e766-86e6-4e65-a304-203cb2be04c2
How does Reverend Flourish Klink justify the claim that Jesus was transgender based on his earthly life?
