A member of the United Church of Christs former Executive Council and a transgender leader within the denomination has been appointed to serve on President Barack Obamas Advisory Council on Faith-based Neighborhood Partnerships. Barbara Satin is the first transgender woman to serve on the advisory council.
"Given the current political climate, I believe it's important that a voice of faith representing the transgender and gender non-conforming communityas well as a person of my years, nearly 82be present and heard in these vital conversations," said Satin, who was involved in the churchs 2003 decision to affirm the inclusion of transgender people in the full life and ministry of the UCC.
Satin recently worked on the development of Spirit on Lake, a LGBTQ senior housing project in Minneapolis that opened in 2013. She also sits on the boards of a number of non-profits that serve LGBTQ people in the areas of philanthropy, training of senior care providers and HIV-AIDS services. Satin is a veteran of the United States Air Force.
The White House announced the appointment of Satin, along with 10 other individuals, to the advisory council on Thursday, May 12. The presidential council, made up of about 15 individuals from across the faith community and charitable organizations, brings together leaders and experts in fields related to the work of faith-based and neighborhood organizations. Its role is to make recommendations to the administration on how to improve the partnerships it forms to serve people in need.
"These fine public servants bring a depth of experience and tremendous dedication to their important roles. I look forward to working with them," the president said in a statement.

Dear God...
[BARF ALERT]
that’s a little mild......
i feel for you. a few years ago my 80 year old dad asked me to help him “vote” on the Lutheran Church deciding to allow queers as pastors. it broke my freaking heart what they were putting this good decent man through..... to decide if the church he had been a member to his whole life could CHOOSE to do evil... he was so tore up. i helped him vote HELL NO. thank God he passed away before he saw it come to be.
Obonzo sure is deep into the sexual deviant gig. Looks like Michelle and the girls will be going it alone after the jig is up in 2017.
Minnecraponus values.
He’s just paving the way for when Michael LaVaughn Robinson decides to come clean.
The little sh## loves chicks with sticks
I didn’t read his (I assume) at first, but I definitely agree with you. I argued once with a person who said G-d wasn’t against trannyism. Can’t remember its argument, but was obviously someone who is for a G-d who provided the Bible as a paperweight.
why is Obama appointing people to councils?
He should be focusing on packing to move, it’s just 8 months away.
Each and every day O finds new ways to weaken or demoralize or just plain insult America.
Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER and Obama only knows FREAKS!
