✦ Synopsis

Overview: Gay Love within the Church Within the hierarchy of the Church of England, "a scandal is brewing - and hypocrisy reigns as charity is withdrawn." Gay love has no respect for narrow theological boundaries, and as gay passion trumps a Bishop's furious demands for an end to a burgeoning same sex love affair involving a church employee, the future of families, careers and the reputation of the church itself are all placed in jeopardy. A Love Letter And A Gay Awakening To be a gay Christian in a professedly modern and all-embracing church is explored, with the lives of the two lovers touchingly described. For one, a happily married man, "or so he thought, " the forbidden love comes as a shock. And the hostility from his superiors in the church, family and friends piles further torment onto an already complex situation. To be Gay and Christian To be gay and Christian is a challenge few gay romance novels tackle. This one, sparked by a love letter that describes true love, albeit of the gay awakening variety, is a tender examination of the dilemmas felt daily by gay and straight clerics alike. No one is suggesting that there is a gay god or that there should even be a gay church, but surely a tolerant god should embrace true Christians no matter what their choice of sexual orientation. A superb novel for our times that asks the question - Can I be both Gay and Christian?
