It was a history making service. Dubbed "Beatles Mass," the congregation sang praise music (with lyrics written by Rohrer) to the tune of Beatles classics like Hey Jude and Let It Be. It was a joyous celebration.
What made the service so groundbreaking is the fact that the pastor, who prefers to be referred to by the pronoun "they," is Transgender. While ministering to Trans people is obviously a big part of the mission, Rohrer embraces all. The well attended installation included LGBT people of all types — and heterosexuals — in the pews.
As congregants lined up to receive Holy Communion, Rohrer held up the bread and wine for all to see. The look of joy and peace on Rohrer's face, and in the faces of all those present, was infectious.
A few days after the service, Rohrer spoke to SFGN about the journey.
