Cambridge dean defends sermon about Jesus' 'trans body,' 'vaginal' side wound

Heath pointed out that in the 13th-century Pietà by Jean Malouel, the blood from Jesus' side flows to his groin.

A dean at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. came to the defense of a junior research fellow whose sermon last Sunday about Jesus Christ having a "trans body" reportedly left outraged congregants "in tears."
Dr. Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said Joshua Heath raised "legitimate" speculation in his Evensong sermon, during which the researcher claimed from the pulpit of Trinity College chapel that non-erotic portrayals of Jesus' penis in historical paintings "urge a welcoming rather than hostile response towards the raised voices of trans people," according to The Daily Telegraph.
"In Christ's simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ as these works suggest the body of all bodies, then his body is also the trans body," Heath said.
Heath's homily during the traditional Anglican service left many in attendance, including children, "visibly uncomfortable," according to an anonymous congregant who fired off a complaint letter to Banner. Shouts of "Heresy!" reportedly rang out in the church as incensed worshipers left in disgust.
"I left the service in tears," the churchgoer wrote to the dean. "You offered to speak with me afterwards, but I was too distressed. I am contemptuous of the idea that by cutting a hole in a man, through which he can be penetrated, he can become a woman."

Too many academics have suffered ideologically induced insanity.

If these people are atheists, why do they care so much about Christianity?
If they do believe in God, how could they possibly believe the stuff they are saying?

These people should be mocked and ostracized.
Would this guy say anything derogatory about the prophet Muhammad? I doubt it.

In my church, we believe that only the erotic portrayals of Jesus’ penis are divinely inspired.

No it didn't. I'm sure that's what they wish happened, because that's why they do it, but nope. This won't change until they start getting shot.

This is what to expect from liberalism in the church (especially seminaries). They redefine truth to support their sin instead of letting the truth of scripture speak.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. Think of a devout 70 year old female being told Jesus is trans. They might very easily cry.

Aren't "hate words" crimes over in the UK?? Christians there need to put these crimes to the test to prove that they are bias laws.

No matter what we think, what these guys should be concerned about is what the Almighty thinks of this. And what they should do next.
I am a sinner but ask forgiveness.

There’s always a pseudo intellectual trying too hard to be edgy that comes up with pure piffle like this trans body Jesus.

No one will believe me, but I preached for evensong in Cambridge at Magdalene, Christ’s, Churchhill, and Clare colleges. Was guest of honor at the Fellows table for each occasion sitting next to the Master of the college.
The Magdalene sermon was on Remembrance Day and Stefan Halper was present, as was Rowan Williams. Afterwards I drank sherry in the chaplains office, sitting in CS Lewis’s favorite chair then smoking cigars on the rooftop with the chaplain.

I think these brave young people need to make the same assertions about mohammed....just as a joke....

Not only that but Jesus is portrayed as a white man in that painting which many people find offensive. Jesus was a black man and the real Jews are the people that are ignorantly called African Americans but who are the true Hebrews and God's chosen people.

Jesus was a Jewish man from the Herodian kingdom of Judea who the Bible described as an ordinary individual.
