"Marriage as We See It" by Chris Glaser

Chris Glaser

In his first book, titled Uncommon Calling—A Gay Christian’s Struggle to Serve the Church, Glaser described how, as a fundamentalist Baptist and a "biblical literalist," he experienced many difficulties and challenges in the journey to accept his homosexuality. He earned his M.Div. degree from Yale University Divinity School (where he began a gay Christian support group in 1974) and since that time has established himself as a prominent writer, speaker, and activist who advocates that "sexuality is truly a gift from God." In the 1970s, he was the only openly gay member of the Presbyterian Task Force to study homosexuality. He also served as founding director of the Lazarus Project—a ministry of reconciliation between the church and the LGBT community—from 1977-1987, and he served as national coordinator of Presbyterians for Lesbian and Gay Concerns.
