[WIRE] The Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA)
Presented by the Cherokee Presbytery during the 227th General Assembly, the overture builds on the PCUSA’s existing non-discrimination policy regarding gender identity and sexual orientation by declaring support for access to "gender-affirming healthcare." The organization views the 27 states banning or limiting youth’s access to life-altering gender procedures as banning "healthcare for minors." The Cherokee Presbytery presented the overture: "Declare that the PCUSA supports all individuals, including minors, to have access to all medically necessary, evidence-based gender-affirming healthcare." Rev. Olivia Lane, moderator of the 227th General Assembly’s Gender and Sexuality Justice Committee, explained that the committee removed the phrase "including minors" from the final text due to concerns that it would be "weaponized to cause further harm to the very children it named." Bigger tent needed. Collection baskets going empty. Trans welcomed. The denomination has been losing roughly 45,000–55,000 members per year since 2021. At the current rate, PC(USA) leadership expects membership to fall below one million in 2025.
