I’m not making this up.
While I understand the distinction between our Christian and/or legal names and our personal preferences regarding nicknames, etc., I can’t imagine why the Episcopal Church would need to conform to the ENDA at this point. Furthermore, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act addresses those individuals legally employed in our churches, dioceses, and institutions. But truly extending this ethos into the life of the Church would require these changes to be applied to all facets of parish life, including membership.
