First trans priest in Church of England has died

Story here

From the article:

Reverend Carol Stone, the first serving Church of England transgender priest, has died from cancer at the age of 60.

Rev Stone died on Saturday following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

The vicar of St Philip’s Church in Upper Stratton and St Peter’s Church in Penhill, North Yorkshire, Rev Stone transitioned in 2000, whereupon the church decided there was no ethical or ecclesiastical reason why she could not continue to serve.

Rest in peace.
