Click (here) for the review. Many years ago I was on a plane flight back from a conference and happened to be seated next to Dr. Ralph Blair–a noted psychotherapist, evangelical Christian, and openly gay man. At the time, I opposed the ordination of people who are LGBT. But we chatted amiably during the…

She read the book, interviewed me for an hour by phone, and really did a great job of capturing the spirit and content of the issues. Here’s a link to the article: "Minister…

“This is an extraordinary book, arguably the best to appear in the long, drawn-out debates within the churches over homosexuality. Rogers frames the issues on deep biblical and theological grounds, challenging superficial readings of scripture. While addressing the issues from the standpoint of Presbyterian traditions and polity, the book is wonderfully relevant to other denominations…

Why am I doing this? I am not gay. No one in my family is gay. That is why I was able to stay on the sidelines for so long. It didn’t touch me personally. I am a Christian who cares deeply about Christ’s church. The church is being torn apart by controversy over whether…
