A transgender woman tells her journey toward accepting herself and ordination to the ministry
Nicole Garcia is seeking ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  When that happens she will be the first transgender woman of color to be ordained in the ELCA.  She speaks with me about her journey from male to female, her counseling practiceOur Lady of Guadalupe, and the importance of queering the church.   She was featured recently in a Religion News Service article, The journey of one transgender Latina in the church.
