hello virb. i'm gaytheologian. pretty much gives me away...
www.gaytheologian.com
blogs, discussions, honesty, and all the liberation theology you can handle!
proceed with open arms
student / counselor / theologian / activist / singer
i was forced to leave the church of god theological seminary in cleveland, tn for failing miserably at ex-gay therapy. (can i get a witness? shandai!) i was 8 hours away from getting a master's degree. i forgive them. but i will keep talking about it until they stop doing it to other people.
i am now a student at the general theological seminary of the episcopal church in the m.div. program! it is LOVERLY to be back in nyc!
i believe god's love is for all people.
i am an anglican, wesleyan, arminian and open futurist christian man and a proud, newly-confirmed member of the episcopal church! .
i had a career as an actor before aspiring to the priesthood, and i toured with the 2001 godspell national tour. if you are clever you can find me on itunes!
i believe in civil disobedience. i believe in revolutionaries. i believe god can change the world through me and my community. jesus and i have lots of work to do together.
tasti-d-lite is the nectar of the gods.
sufjan i adore you
a little sufjan clip dedicated to those of you who despise me and everything i represent...fear is the punk ass way to go...try some good old fashioned unconditional jesus love and see what might happen...
