The Gift of Gay Spirituality

The Gift of Gay Spirituality

Homosexuality is one of God’s most significant gifts to humanity.

How are same-sex relationships a means of grace for the persons involved and how is it that people, who live, in such unions move towards sainthood through the struggle which are particular to them?

Christian gays possess a charism which is analogous of a religious vocation. The gay person’s charism is a sexual charism. (2) Gay sexuality is a fact of creation.

All charisms converge in the task of raiding up the God hidden in our world and our lives. (3)

Sexuality and Spirituality

James Nelson writes and I believe the body/soul dualism prevalent in Western Society is undergoing a shift which is re-integrating the two. ( 3)

The Gay man cannot wait for the tradition to tell him how to think and feel about God and how his experience can contribute to the overall understanding of the God reality today. He needs to trust his experience of God.
