Summary

Justin Lee is a gay Christian. In his book Unconditional he describes his struggle to reconcile his sexuality with his evangelical faith and how he believes the church should respond to LGBT people. Ed Shaw is a church leader who is also same-sex attracted. Unlike Lee he believes that celibacy is the only biblical option for those who are gay. They discuss their experiences growing up, how the Church treats gay people, the biblical issues and their view of celibacy.
