Sarah was ordained Deacon in The Church of England in July 2004. In January 2005 she hit the headlines when she was outed to a national newspaper as having made a gender change many years previously. The story was covered in national newspapers and television stations and on websites and blogs throughout the world. Representatives from the media went to her parishes and asked people what they thought about having an Assistant Curate who has made a 'sex-change'. The people supported her.

She has since appeared on a number of television and radio programmes including 'The Heaven and Earth Show' on BBC 1, 'Woman to Woman' on Premier Christian Radio and 'Woman's Hour' on Radio 4.

Sarah was ordained priest in September 2005 despite criticism from some conservative Christians - even on the morning of the ordination itself.

Sarah is now the Rector of Ross-on-Wye, Walford and Brampton Abbotts in Herefordshire.

Sarah talks about sex and gender, about gender changes and about having been outed as the first person to have made a gender change and then be ordained in The Church of England. She speaks on topics such as Diversity and Inclusion and the importance of support from the organisation for their LGBTI+ staff and on the problems which occur when this support is not there.
