A non-binary gender-queer Anglican priest in the United Kingdom is on report claiming to make use of the clerical place in hopes of “normalizing” such habits among children.
“I try to get involved in, not just in my religious work but outside it, with the local secular LGBT youth groups,” stated Rev. Bingo Allison, a Church of England priest in the Diocese of Liverpool who identifies as gender-queer and makes use of “they/them” pronouns, in line with an interview with the Liverpool Echo.
“One of the biggest things is just being a visual representation in my community and going into schools, doing assemblies and making a huge difference in normalizing it for children. When I’m wearing my collar it lets children know that is OK and that there is a place in church and the outside world for people like me,” Allison added.
Allison, who claims to be the primary non-binary gender-queer priest in England’s established church, claimed to have found a biblical foundation for gender fluidity throughout a late-night studying of Genesis 1:27, which recounts how God created people female and male.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them,” reads the verse, which Allison maintained expresses “maleness to femaleness” as an alternative of women and men.
Allison described the revelation as “a deepening spiritual experience” by which God “was guiding me into this new truth about myself.”

“One of the things that has kept with my ministry ever since is that transition and coming out can and should be a spiritual experience, as well as an emotional and social and sometimes physical one,” Allison instructed the U.Ok. outlet. “There is something beautiful about growing into who we were created to be and growing into our authentic selves.”
“When I’m wearing my collar it lets children know that is okay…”
A 3rd-generation priest and father of three who was ordained at Liverpool Cathedral in 2020, Allison claimed to have grown up in a family that was “strongly religious” and believed homosexuality and transgender habits to be a “sinful thing.”
But after studying the time period “gender-queer” about seven years in the past, Allison stated “everything suddenly clicked.”

“It was a lot harder than I thought having come out to myself to then remain in the closet,” Allison stated. “There were definitely lots of times before when I kind of questioned my identity but growing up in a more conservative form of Christianity meant that it was just so far beyond my imagination.”
In a sermon commemorating Trans Day of Visibility in 2021, Allison likened the plight of transgender individuals to the struggling of martyrs talked about in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews in the New Testament.
Calvin Robinson, an Anglican deacon in the separatist Free Church of England who just lately told Fox News Digital that his ordination in the Church of England was “snatched away” as a result of of his conservative theological views, condemned Allison’s positions and urged others to “call out his heresy and blasphemy.”
“Challenge the Church’s apparent apostasy,” Robinson stated. “Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks. We know how this story goes. The conversation gets shifted from truth/lies to ‘bullying.’”
“You can predict it like clockwork,” Robinson continued. “In a week or so, he’ll be back in the headlines of left-wing papers saying he was abused and targeted for his looks. The Church of England won’t rebuke him for his errors, instead it’ll double-down and say it needs to be even more inclusive. Pray for his wife and children and the awful time he must be putting them through with this scandal.”
A spokesperson for the Church of England referred Fox News Digital to the Diocese of Liverpool, which didn’t reply to a request for remark by time of publication.
