Baptist Pastor to Preside over Transgender Renaming Ceremony
A transgender Christian who is living as a man will take part in a renaming ceremony at a church in south London this weekend.
The ceremony at the Oasis church in Waterloo will be presided over by Baptist minister Steve Chalke on Sunday, within the church's regular mid-morning service.
The man, Luke, will be prayed for by friends and by Chalke and he will be renamed before being presented with a Bible with his new name written in it.
The BBC will be on hand to film the occasion, at which Luke will speak about his life....
