Interfaith Voices Podcast (hour-long version)
Summary: Interfaith Voices is the nation’s leading religion news magazine on public radio. We offer weekly analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of African-American Mormons and atheists in the military, evangelical environmentalists and Muslim feminists. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore. That’s why Interfaith Voices matters.

In the Church of England, you can only be baptized once. But some transgender people are seeking a new liturgy to reintroduce themselves to God, and their community.

Yvonne "Yve" Taylor, a 56-year-old transgender woman who lives in Exeter, loves her church but wants to be affirmed as the woman she is now – not the boy baptized by her family decades ago.
From the 2017 General Synod that determined whether the church would accept this new liturgy, we hear two Church of England clergy -- one who approved the motion, and one who opposed it – explain their reasoning.
