Marking Lifecycles at CBST
The clergy staff of CBST welcomes members who wish to mark lifecycles or ritual moments with us—lifecycles that are specific to transgender experience as well as those that are not.
Transgender members are warmly invited to observe any of these or other lifecycles at CBST--publicly, privately, or both. Please contact us for further information.
