Join us as we discuss the hot topic of Trans racial adoption with our guests, Chris and Heather Deacon.

The Rev. Dr. Chris Deacon is the Pastor at Northwood Presbyterian Church and the Vice Moderator of National Capital Presbytery. Heather Deacon is the Director of Business Affairs at National Capital Presbytery.
