Subject: 'Christian homosexuality' Author: XOX [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:25:30 01/07/05 Fri In reply to: XOX 's message, "¡u±r«Þ¦b±Ð·|Ãä½tªº¥LªÌ¡v¢w¢w¦p¦óÅé·|¤Î»²¾É¦P§Ó«H®{ªº±Ã¤ã¤u§@§{" on 09:33:42 01/03/05 Mon From Glaser who wrote "Uncommon Calling - A gay Christian's Stuggle to Serve the Church. 'Christian homosexuality' "I believe that most Christians have difficulty accepting homosexuality in the church because they are unable to accept any sexuality as a means of God¡¦s grace.¡¨ I wrote this in my first book, Uncommon Calling--A Gay Christian¡¦s Struggle to Serve the Church. In it I describe how difficult it was for me, at the time a fundamentalist Baptist and biblical literalist, to move through various stages of acceptance of my homosexuality. First I thought of it as both sin and sickness. When God didn¡¦t change me despite my prayers, I moved into another stage, believing that my sexuality was my thorn in the flesh or my cross to bear. It was only when I fell in love with my best male friend in college and found a Presbyterian church unafraid to deal with sexuality that I began to understand that my sexuality was truly a gift from God¡¨ (Chris Glaser. According to his website, Glaser has been ¡§a gay Christian activist and author¡¨ for 30 years). Glaser's books, such as: Uncommon Calling A Gay Christian's Struggle to Serve the Church and Reformation of the Heart: Seasonal Meditations by a Gay Christian are readily available in many online Christian bookstores.
