Dear Friend,

Transgender people, already the targets of discrimination and physical harm, have been made a culture wars flashpoint. A feature article in the November issue of Sojourners explores how the Bible affirms transgender and nonbinary people. “To God, what makes us human is not that we are made male and female: It is that we are made in the image of our Creator.” As Christians we are called to acknowledge that God’s conception of humanity is vaster and more varied than we can comprehend.
