Isaiah 43:16-19 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, who brings out chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. #faithfullyLGBT #bible #gospel

Ellie Dote is a queer transgender woman who just moved from Fresno, California to Southern California. Growing up deep within the Roman Catholic Church, Ellie knew at an early age that there was something different about her but wasn’t sure what. Her faith journey took her from a music career in Catholic Church to Fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity, all the while praying that God would just make her "normal.” After burning out and spending several years away from church, Ellie finally came to terms with her identity and began her transition in 2017. Since then, she has found a place in her community facilitating conversation between conservative Evangelicals and the LGBTQ+ community and is excited about the opportunity learn more about furthering this process from the Reformation Project!

Cloud is a queer, non-binary, second generation Italian/white person who recently left farming after six years, but is still captivated by the inevitable process of growth and decay happening all around and within. After living in the Hudson Valley of NY for the last three years, they recently moved to Brooklyn and are looking forward to establishing roots! They are a songwriter and poet, and their music often reflects upon the spectrum of hope and grief, faith and violence, love and heartbreak. They acknowledge that there is much work to do when it comes to the mental health within the church, and believe that seeking self-liberation is a key part of working towards collective liberation, both of which are a lifelong commitment. We're thrilled that Cloud is a part of our 2019 Leadership Development Cohort. Learn how you can support them here: https://give.reformationproject.org/fundraiser/1829791
