The Courier Mail reported, “Reverend Josephine Inkpin, [ R above]who was born Jonathan Inkpin, [and remains married to his wife – another Anglican priest. L above] spoke at St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School at Corinda in Brisbane’s western suburbs to promote the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
[Who comes up with these days? I guess its similar to the International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day….]
Inkpin, a lecturer in theology, also spoke of her transition from a man to a woman.
The whole school assembly did not have an opt-out option and no warning was given regarding the controversial matter.
The article reads, “Some parents said this was ‘sexualised, (and) highly controversial subject matter’. The school and the church hotly dispute this.
Arethusa Christian College at Spring Hill also hosted this ‘transgender priest’.
Exposing kids to this ideological agenda is not up to the school. Parents send their kids to school for an education, not indoctrination.

Prominent Anglican Transgender Minister Josephine Inkpin reflects on journey
ABC 2 Aug 2018, 8:09am

Three years ago, Anglican minister Josephine Inkpin finally made the decision to live openly as a woman, to stay married and stay a priest.
“I’ve never really felt comfortable with myself as male from a very early age but I could never really put the words to it,” said Ms Inkpin, now 58 and working as a theology lecturer in Brisbane.
Named Jonathan Inkpin at birth, she grew up in a conservative rural area in England before moving to Australia with her wife and two children in 2001.
Prior to her transition, Ms Inkpin was a minister on Queensland’s Darling Downs, based in Toowoomba at Saint Luke’s Anglican Church between 2010 and 2017.
But for almost her entire life she never felt comfortable in her own skin. She thought it was a normal struggle that others faced.
“It was really hard to make sense of that,” she said.

Moving between different spaces
Ms Inkpin said when she reflected, her decision to become an Anglican priest was linked to her feelings about her gender identity.
“I think being a priest is a lovely way of being someone who can move between different spaces, so I didn’t have to be a male businessmen or something like that,” she said.
“We’re sort of like an intermediate thing, certainly from an Anglican, Catholic point of view.”

Between the religious dress and societal function, she said there was a gender neutrality.
“There’s kind of a sense in which there’s a bit of balance of male and female,” Ms Inkpin said.
“I actually think it was partly my salvation.”


New door opens
When Ms Inkpin first learned about other transgender ministers in America and England, a new door suddenly opened.
“It was like an electric shock went through me and I realised that this is possible.”
Ms Inkpin believes the profound internal struggle through decades of her life, and now the challenging transition process had helped her ministering across different communities.
And while there were some who struggled with the idea, overall the Church had been supportive.
“A friend of mine said, when I get to heaven I’m going to go straight to the heavenly throne and demand ‘why [did] you make me like this?’ — and I said, I think you’ll be in a long line actually,” Ms Inkpin said.



People wanted God taken out of schools and he was. This is what they have replaced him with. What chance have some got of understanding Gods morality,his way of living and the biblical stance on sin, when you have so called Anglican priests deciding they are really meant to be a woman instead of the man God made them,and they are still allowed to remain a priest. Then they are allowed to go and speak in a school about such issues, without parental knowledge and consent. So the lesbians and gays tell us God made them that way, and as christians we are not allowed to tell them otherwise or else we are judged a bigot and phobe . But the transgenders say well God made a big mistake when he made me, as he made me the wrong gender, and then the so called non binary and gender fluids etc ,say that gender is nothing more than a social construct, that has been forced on to society. This bunch cant even agree with one another,but expect us to all agree with them. We stand by God and his bible,not the crap these people choose to believe, and his bible is clear on all such matters.
And as for going before the heavenly throne when one dies and demanding God to know why he made them like this, one has to get to heaven in the first place and once there , no one will be demanding anything from God at all. That comment alone shows how far away these people are from God and his truth. Just another person deluded by satan into thinking God got it wrong again. Wouldn’t want to be this priest standing before God on judgement day, nor his wife . So him deciding he really is a woman, does that mean his wife has no decided she is a lesbian lol .
