- Notes
- "Surely we pray for people, not for anyone's gender ('New gender blessings for trial use', p. 1, March [2022]). If someone is grateful for their particular gender, a prayer of thanksgiving is appropriate. I see no reason to create special liturgy for sex-altering operations any more than liturgy for gall bladder operations. Yes, we should pray for anyone undergoing any operation and for the medical staff attending". [Text of entire article.]
