This evening, Thursday April 12 at 8pm, local pastor David Shelton of the CCC will present his new book, The Rainbow Kingdom: Christianity and the Homosexual Reconciled in the Kinbrough building’s Genty Auditorium. The event is being hosted by Austin Peay’s Gay Straight Alliance. This is the GSA’s first attempt this semester to bring in an outside guest speaker.
In his book, Shelton tackles the question “Can a person be both gay and a christian?” According to Shelton the answer is a resounding “yes!” However, unlike other books that have been devoted to this topic, Shelton’s work attempts to take a conversational tone with the reader. According to Shelton the research dissertation tone of other works on this topic detracts from its usability as a resource for gay christians. The book is already gathering positive reviews.
Shelton and the Gay Straight Alliance would like to invite everyone out to the Gentry Auditorium (Kimbrough Building, Room 119) tonight to hear his presentation on the book. There will be light refreshments served and the evening is expected to have a moderate turnout and proceed without incident. Check back later for more detailed coverage of the event after it is done.
