Bingo Allison, a Church of England priest in the Diocese of Liverpool who identifies as gender. queer and uses “they/they” pronouns, according to an interview with the echo of liverpool.
“One of the biggest things is just being a visual representation in my community and going to schools and having assemblies and making a big difference in normalizing things for kids. When I wear my necklace, it lets kids know that it’s okay and that there is a place in the church and the outside world for people like me,” Allison added.

“One of the things that has stayed with my ministry ever since is that transition and coming out can and should be a spiritual experience, as well as an emotional, social and sometimes a physical one,” Allison told the British outlet. “There is something beautiful about becoming who we were created to be and growing into our authentic selves.”

“It was a lot harder than I thought to come out and then stay in the closet,” Allison said. “There were definitely many times before where I questioned my identity, but growing up in a more conservative form of Christianity meant it was way beyond my imagination.”
in a sermon Marking Trans Awareness Day in 2021, Allison compared the plight of transgender people to the suffering of the martyrs mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11 in the New Testament.
Calvin Robinson, an Anglican deacon from the breakaway Free Church of England who recently told Fox News Digital that his ordination in the Church of England was “snatched away” because of his conservative theological views, he condemned Allison’s positions and urged others to “call her heresy and blasphemy”.
“It challenges the apparent apostasy of the Church,” Robinson said. “Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks. We know how this story plays out. The conversation turns from truth/lies to ‘intimidation.'”
“You can predict it like clockwork,” Robinson continued. “In a week or so, he will once again be making headlines in left-wing newspapers saying he was abused and attacked for his appearance. The Church of England will not rebuke him for his mistakes, but will double down on him.” “. and say that he should be even more inclusive. Pray for his wife and his children and for the terrible time he must be going through with this scandal.”
