Why I Support the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry

I enthusiastically endorse the Center because I believe that the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) is the theological institution best positioned to open new horizons on LGBT issues. The GTU is graced by the presence of many centers that do cutting edge work in many fields.

The CGLS is a natural addition to the mix, a dynamic place where important issues of sexuality, diversity, and justice can be debated with scholarly integrity and activist commitment. I expect that the Center will attract worldwide attention as a prototype for this kind of work. It is a place where innovative scholars convene to encourage one another's work and to engage critically the unfolding sexuality issues.

The Center's archives promises to provide future scholars with primary sources for understanding and evaluating the rapidly developing field of LGBT religious studies. I look forward to teaching and learning in this setting for years to come.
