Straight Like Me - The Journey of a Gay Priest in the Episcopal Church (Paperback)

This is the author's story of faith, hope and love as he learns to understand that God loves him, a homosexual priest. It is not a memoir or autobiography, but rather it is the author's account of how over the years he has dealt with the fact that he is a homosexual who is afraid that it is not proper for a priest to be a queer. It takes him a long time to get over the fear. It took him a long time to learn to be honest about himself. He wonders why it took him so long to be honest about himself. In addition to answering these questions, the other purpose of the book is to attempt to help other gay and lesbian people who are wrestling with the same questions. One of the hopes of this book is to take the author's experience and use it to help initiate a process of change in the hearts and minds of the Vestries and Search Committees of parishes looking for a new Vicar or Rector, and also a change in the hearts and minds of people responsible for hiring decisions in church institutions and Dioceses around the country. It is the hope of this book to support the change in acceptance of others that is surely coming over the church and over the world.
