Guidelines developed for amending church records for identity changesEpiscopal Church Office of Public Affairs Posted Feb 8, 2021 |
|
At the request of General Convention (2018-A088), The Archives of The Episcopal Church has prepared a set of recommendations for developing local policy on name and gender changes to Episcopal Church records. The Guidelines for Policy on Amending Church Records for Name and Gender Changes are available on the Archives Website with Spanish translation and supporting resources and links.
The guidelines may be used by parishes and dioceses to address individuals’ requests to align name and gender entries with usage they have legally adopted in civil jurisdictions. Name and gender identity in records is particularly sensitive to instances where individuals seek to safeguard their privacy, protect themselves from harm, or simply to revise records that do not accurately represent their identity.
The guidelines were approved for distribution by Executive Council resolution at its October 9–11, 2020 meeting.
Directrices para modificar los registros eclesiásticos debido a cambios de identidad
A solicitud de la Convención General (Resolución A088 de 2018), los Archivos de la Iglesia Episcopal prepararon un conjunto de recomendaciones para desarrollar una política local sobre cambios de nombre y género en los registros de la Iglesia Episcopal. Las Directrices para la política sobre modificación de registros eclesiásticos para cambios de nombre y género se encuentran disponibles en la Página Web de los Archivos con traducción al español y materiales y enlaces de apoyo.
Las directrices pueden ser utilizadas por parroquias y diócesis para abordar las solicitudes de las personas con vistas a ajustar las entradas de nombre y género con el uso que han adoptado legalmente en jurisdicciones civiles. El nombre y la identidad de género en los registros es particularmente sensible en los casos en que las personas buscan salvaguardar su privacidad, protegerse de perjuicios o simplemente revisar los registros que no representan adecuadamente su identidad.
Las directrices fueron aprobadas para su distribución mediante resolución del Consejo Ejecutivo en su reunión del 9 al 11 de octubre de 2020.
