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

I support the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies at the Pacific School of Religion because it is simply one of the most creative centers at the Graduate Theological Union.

I see the work it is doing as cutting edge in many ways. It is dealing with the interface of sexuality, gender, sexual and social identity in a church where these realities have for centuries been the center of repression and fear. It is able to touch on a wide range of social relations, including issues of class, ethnicity and race, through these issues of sexuality identity.

There is a happy and adventurous spirit at work in this Center that is able to push the edges of the discourse around these issues and imagine many new dimensions of them, inviting speakers from a wide variety of religious and social backgrounds. It is a good place and getting better all the time.
