Tales Of History And Imagination With Simone Whitlow by Andrew Whiteside

Stuart Edser is an Australian theologian and therapist. He is also a good friend of mine. Seven years ago, I interviewed him about a book he had written called Being Gay Being Christian.

This is the audio version of that interview, and while it is several years old, I still think it has relevance for our current moment in time.

What you need to know prior to the interview is that Stuart used to be a bible thumping evangelical and his whole world revolved around preaching the gospels and the power of Jesus - what no one knew though was he was hiding the fact he was gay and that secret was tearing him apart.
