She/He/They: Gender Diversity 101

Sarah Wiles became pastor at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church in 2020. She grew up in North Carolina and is a graduate of Wake Forest University, Union Theological Seminary in New York (MDiv), and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary where she completed a Doctor of Ministry in Creative Writing and Public Theology. Prior to serving BPC, she served churches in Tacoma, WA, and Ann Arbor, MI. She and her husband are parents to twins. She believes firmly in the restorative powers of homemade food, long naps, and laughing until you can’t breathe.

Sarah says, “Our understanding of and language for gender has expanded dramatically in recent years. Join us for an explanation of contemporary thought about gender diversity, current language for various identities, and the common myths and misinformation that are rampant in our society today.”
