From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n The service \u2014 possibly the first of its kind in the province \u2014 is being organized by Theo Robinson, a transgender male and regional pastor for the Interlake Shared Ministry, and Andrew Rampton, rector at Holy Trinity Anglican Church.<\/p>\n Queer Evensong starts at 5 p.m. at Holy Trinity (256 Smith St.).<\/p>\n Robinson serves churches in Selkirk, Teulon, Arborg, Lundar and Riverton through the ministry, which is operated jointly by the Anglican Diocese of Rupert\u2019s Land and the Manitoba and Northwest Ontario Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
