About this listen

In 1980s America, coming out as gay as a father and husband was a significant journey for anyone to make. Coming out as gay as a priest guaranteed immersion into controversy, contradiction, and challenge.

This audiobook tells of the Reverend Canon Ted Karpf's navigation of new social and romantic journeys, all within the context of his priestly vocation in the Episcopal Church. Covering from 1968 to 2018, Karpf recounts his vivid memories, life-changing dreams, and resonant reflections on living a life of faith in a socially and politically tumultuous period.

His narratives are crafted as poetic meditations on enduring values and meaning, which can remind any listener that we are neither abandoned nor alone, and that forgiveness is a fulfilling way of living in a world of contradictions.
