This is the user page for Erin Swenson.

Born Eric Karl Swenson in 1947, Erin made history when she became the first mainstream ordained minister (Presbyterian Church USA) to retain her ordination after changing gender expression. She has practiced Marriage and Family Therapy since 1978, and her change in gender status necessarily became an issue with her full time practice then at the the Brookwood Center for Psychotherapy. The event was covered widely by local, national, and international news outlets. Erin maintains mutually supportive relationships with her ex-spouse and their two children and spends her free time training for triathlon.
