![]() What I actually want to focus on in this post is…friendship and the relationships Christians are to have with each other. We need to be able to welcome such individuals into our fellowships, and not assume they just need to somehow be healed from it or marry the opposite sex. If someone in your Sunday school class said they were a celibate gay, how would you respond? It is an issue we should all consider. The back cover says in a larger font: “Is there a place for celibate gay Christians in the church?” – a question we should all ask ourselves. The back cover of the book says: “He offers a fresh perspective, advocating neither unqualified ‘healing’ for those who struggle nor accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness.” The book is honest, and he shares his struggles. He could not get rid of his same-sex attractions, and acting on them was not an option either. In other words, he is a celibate gay Christian. Wesley Hill is an evangelical Christian with same-sex attraction since his youth, and he has chosen a life of single celibacy rather than disregard biblical teaching on this issue. ![]() ![]() It will take a few words to get to what the title of my post is about…įirst a mini book review. ![]() I recently read this book: Washed and Waiting, Reflections on Christian Faithfulness & Homosexuality by Wesley Hill (updated and expanded edition), Zondervan 2010, 2016. ![]()
