ABSTRACT

The author shares her journey from closeted United Methodist Church pastor-to-be through the assumptions of the United Methodist Church and the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches about homosexuality and bisexuality to an out bisexual pastor with the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches. She examines how the similar assumptions of modern Christians about God (male, White, heterosexual) distort images of God and the ways in which bisexual theologians, clergy and laity can offer other images and different ways to think about God, reflective of a more inclusive vision of God and of humankind.
