O knihe

Ralph McFadden was married and raised two
children. But in the mid-1990s, he decided that living with
integrity meant living authentically, "coming out" as the
gay man he was. In For Life is a Journey, author McFadden, a
former pastor, denominational executive, and hospice
chaplain, explores his own journey as he confronts the
church's blindness to the damaging injustice of
homophobia.
For Life is a Journey includes
McFadden's reflections about claiming his identity as a gay
man and "surfacing his soul." He is honest about the depth
of grief and anger that accompanied the changes he was
forced to make in terms of work, his marriage, family, and
friends. Through stories, poems and reflections, he
discusses the sense of betrayal and abandonment that he
experienced when the church that had so profoundly shaped
his commitments to peace, reconciliation, and justice, now
rejected him. McFadden explores his concerns on social
issues that affect people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender. He also recognizes the internal changes
that have occurred as a result of his journey toward
authenticity and truth. From the struggling, the
discovering, and the exploring came renewal and rebirth.
