LEBANON - About 40 people heard the Rev. David Weekley speak on his experiences as a transgendered man Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in Lebanon.

The "reconciling" movement between the national United Methodist Church and its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members began in the early 1980s, but Weekley is one of only two openly transgendered UMC ministers in the United States.

After showing a video prepared by a Lutheran group featuring a handful of that denomination's transgendered members, Weekley gave a short biographical talk before taking questions from the audience.
