Transgender Dinner of Remembrance Hosted By Trinity Church

NORTHBOROUGH, MA—Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to honor all trans people who have lost their lives as a result of murder or suicide, and the Trinity Church in Northborough is holding an event to honor this day.

Trinity Church holds a Transgender Dinner of Remembrance on Saturday, Nov. 18, at 6 p.m., which includes a brief movie, memorial litany and dinner along with featured speaker Taj Smith.

"The intent is to educate us about the plight of transgender people, and to learn how communities of faith can better include them," said the release.

According to the announcement, Smith graduated from Harvard Divinity School (HDS) with a Master of Divinity in 2016. He is a member of the United Church of Christ where he is invested in conversations that will expand hospitality to transgender and gender non-conforming people. Prior to attending HDS, he had another life as a singer/songwriter and a professional street performer. He sees no limit to the imagination and seeks out creative ways to advocate for justice, usually through artistic expression. He is an avid sci-fi lover and a longtime musician. He also really likes hats.

The event is free and open to the public. Donations to benefit Trinity Church's outreach to the LGBTQ community are welcome.
