Uncommon Calling: A Gay Christian's Struggle to Serve the Church

By Chris Glaser

Book Overview

In this book, Chris Glaser describes his personal journey of coming out to his family, friends, church--and to himself. He tells the story of how the church reacted to his disclosure and his subsequent "uncommon" calling that led him to devote his professional life to reconciliation between the lesbian, gay, and bisexual community and the church. By openly and honestly telling his story, Glaser furthers his calling--demonstrating that lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals are not abstractions, but real people struggling to remain faithful.

Glaser's story brings humor and hope to gay Christians

Chris Glaser's book poinently and beautifully describes his struggle to find a place in the church as a gay man. Reading Chris' reflections on his own and the church's struggle with his sexuality and with the place of homosexuality within the church was an healing expereince for me. And his theology is good too! A must for any gay Christian.
