I offer you this prayer on Father’s Day Sunday, which happens to fall in Gay Pride month, to remind us that gender and gender roles are fluid. The younger generations are teaching us that the world is not neatly divided into male or female but consists of male and female (Genesis 1:27) in concert even within each individual. This day as well as Mother’s Day are times to re-examine our assumptions about gender — to reject toxic masculinity and submissive femininity. Let’s look to Jesus’ example of being fully human and faithful to Christ’s values regardless of gender.
