The Gay Face of God
 

Book: The Gay Face of God
Author: Archbishop Bruce J. Simpson
Review: 4 stars (out of 5)
Gay & Catholic

Bruce Simpson has led many lives - a military man, bodyguard, police detective, and Catholic priest. He recounts his adventures in this straightforward autobiography. I admire Simpson's honesty and his convictions about being true to his sexuality (and his longtime partner), while pursuing his vocation to the Church. As a bonus, readers will find a detailed history of The Old Catholic Church, to which Simpson is now an archbishop.
