Contributor: Allyson Dylan Robinson

Rev. Allyson Dylan Robinson recently served as transitional pastor of Washington, D.C.’s Calvary Baptist Church, a congregation that has served the nation’s capital for over 150 years. She is believed to be the first openly transgender person ever to be ordained by a Baptist church – a distinction that led MSNBC to speculate she might be “the most radical preacher in America.” She is founder and principal of Warrior Poet Strategies, a D.C.-based consulting firm advising clients in organizational design and social and civic entrepreneurship. Previously, she led diversity initiatives at the Human Rights Campaign and was the first transgender person to lead a national LGBT organization as executive director of OutServe-SLDN. She’s also served as an Army officer, led Baptist congregations on two continents, studied at West Point, Baylor University, Arizona State, and the University of Oxford, and earned degrees in physics and theology.
