A California-based transgender pastor, Drew Stever, has spoken out about creating a more inclusive ministry for the LGBTQ+ community, saying that the Bible "wasn't written for 2024".
Stever, who identifies as a transgender man, serves at Hope Lutheran Church in Hollywood, part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
In an interview with The Daily Mail, he said he believes that traditional interpretations of gender, as outlined in the Bible, are "outdated".
