For many years the intersection of gay identity and Christian
identity in the United States was a virtual no-man's land. In All
But Invisible, author Nate Collins explores the cultural background
of this claim and outlines a vision for Christian community in
which straight and nonstraight people might be reconciled so they
can flourish together in full awareness of their shared humanity.
Along the way, Collins addresses several questions clustered around
the topic of LGBT and Christian experience, such as: What is the
relationship between biblical concepts like desire, lust, and
temptation and modern constructs like sexual attraction and
orientation? How do you reconcile aspects of identity that are
important to gender and sexual minorities with Christian faith
identity? How might new forms of kinship, such as intentional
community or celibate partnership, make the blessings of family
life more accessible to gay people in traditional faith
communities? Speaking from his own experience as a gay man in a
mixed orientation marriage, Collins is committed to helping faith
communities include LGBT people in the family life of the church.
He writes for believers who have a traditional sexual ethic and
provides a renewed vision of gospel flourishing for gay, lesbian,
and other same-sex-attracted individuals.
