Rev. Dr. Neil Thomas Addresses Controversial Mailers Targeting Children in Texas

The Rev. Dr. Neil Thomas, senior pastor of Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ in Dallas, has voiced strong disapproval of political mailers sent to children in Texas households. These mailers, which reference transgender and LGBTQ+ student resources, have generated significant concern regarding their credibility and authorship.

Numerous reports, including one from FOX 26 Houston, indicate that the mailers were directed to ‘Students Of The Family’ and featured branding from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), which has denied any connection to the materials. Rev. Dr. Thomas stresses that children should never be used as tools in political tactics that instill fear or distort the work of advocacy organizations focused on vulnerable groups. He calls for transparency and accountability from those behind the mailers while reaffirming support for the dignity and safety of transgender and LGBTQ+ youth.
