 Allyson Robinson Program Team Chairperson Prior to her gender transition, Allyson Robinson graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, served five years as a U.S. Army officer, and pastored Baptist congregations on two continents. Before entering vocational ministry, she also served Baptist churches as a deacon, worship minister, and church planter. Allyson received a Master of Divinity degree from Baylor University, with a capstone emphasis in social justice, in 2007. She's proudest, though, of her "thrilling" marriage of 15 years and of her four "mind-bogglingly well adjusted" children. Asked to summarize her life in six words or less, she responded, "When in doubt, bet on love." She currently works as the Associate Director of Diversity for transgender concerns at the Human Rights Campaign. Allyson lives with her wife and their four children in Gaithersburg, Md. The Robinsons are members of Calvary Baptist Church in downtown Washington, D.C., where Allyson serves on the Pastoral Relations Committee. |
