Today marks one year since the revised and expanded edition of "God and the Gay Christian" was released, and we continue to be grateful for the stories we hear of how it is changing hearts and minds.

A decade after its original publication, this updated edition brings fresh insight to the conversation by refining the argument, engaging key critiques, and incorporating new scholarship.

Its core message remains the same: that Christians can fully affirm the authority of Scripture while also affirming monogamous, covenantal same-sex relationships.

We’re grateful every day for the people who make this work possible, and Volunteer Appreciation Day is a chance to say it out loud.

To our volunteer Ambassadors, donors, and supporters: Your time, energy, and commitment are at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for the ways you show up, serve, and help create a more faithful and inclusive church.

We couldn’t do this without you!

Even though same-sex marriage didn’t exist in the biblical world, many of the countercultural principles the early Christians embraced regarding sexuality are consistent with same-sex marriages today: mutuality, monogamy, and covenantal love.
