 Thank You! November 21, 2006
Bobbi (Cincinnati, OH)
Thank you to the authors and publishers for the existence of this book!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the other accounts in this book (I wrote Ch 19- Bobbi). I disagree with the reviewer who said it was UCC propoganda because it is just a matter of the channels through which they were able to find students willing to write about their experiences. My campus minister in college suggested that I submit my story.
BTW, 6.5 years later we are still together- in fact we held a committment ceremony Labor Day weekend. And despite not being UCC, we had to have a UCC pastor officiate because they are one of the only denominations that won't be defrocked for doing so.
Very affirming book July 23, 2001

"Coming out young and Faithful" is a book of coming-out experiences of spiritual teenagers and young adults: an attempt to call the Christian Church into liberation, justice, and love. According to the editors, its brainchild was the Youth and Young Adult Ministries Program of the United Church of Christ. The goal of this book is to bring their experiences together, which will allow the truth to be told and start the healing process for these g/l/b/t teenagers: "That they will know themselves as defined by the grace of God." The major strength of this book is the fact that teens wrote it, not degreed professionals. Though they are a great help to us, sometimes, it helps to hear peer's experiences, so that we know were not alone. I suggest this book to anyone who is thinking about religion and homosexuality. Hearing the experiences of g/l/b/t Christians can be a great meditative experience.
