The “CBS Mornings” series, “The State of Spirituality with Lisa Ling,” explores unique paths to faith, spirituality and religion in the U.S.

The latest installment of the series focuses on a Lutheran pastor in California who is trying to form an inclusive community by just being himself, reports CBS News.

Drew Stever is a transgender man and an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
