ARCHBISHOP ANNOUNCES BOOK RELEASE



The Office of the Archbishop announced today that a new autobiography entitled, “The Gay Face of God” has been released from Third Millennium Publishing of Tempe, AZ. and is available. The book reveals what it was like to grow up gay in the 1950’s and 1960’s, on through service in the military during Vietnam, police departments, local magistrate, bodyguard, senior Treasury Department official with the Financial Management Service in Washington, D.C. and ordination and consecration within the Old Catholic Church in America. In addition to the life experiences of this remarkable man, the Archbishop’s feelings and beliefs on being gay and Old Catholic in a world where many believe just being gay is a ticket to hell, are portrayed with responses to the Vatican and other situations reprinted in the book. Of particular concern to the Archbishop is the plight of some gay youth in American society who commit suicide at a far greater rate than normal. In the Appendix of the book, is a reconstructed same-sex marriage Rite that was used by the Roman Catholic Church for over nine centuries and adopted for present day use based on research by John Boswell. Copies of the book may be purchased directly from the publisher by calling 1-888-216-8173, or by visiting Http://3mpub.com/simpson, or the Order's website: OSJTB.COM
