The Black Trans Prayer Book

 

Join us February 18-19, 2021 for a two-day virtual gathering with the creators of The Black Trans Prayer Book. For more information and the complete schedule, please see: https://divinity.vanderbilt.edu/tbtpb.php

 

The Black Trans Prayer Book is an interfaith, multi-dimensional, artistic and theological work that collects the stories, poems, prayers, meditation, spells, and incantations of Black Trans & Non-Binary people. Often pushed out of Faith spaces and yet still deeply connected to a historical legacy of spiritual essentiality, Black Trans People face unprecedented amounts of spiritual, physical, and psychological violence. The Black Trans Prayer Book is a tool of healing, and affirmation centered on uplifting Black Trans & Non-Binary people and celebrating our place within faith.
