A memoir from BPFNA's Founding President, George Williamson. "Born in Sin documents a cascading progression of confrontations with assumed privilege... With this dawn’s crack, light began to illumine awareness of a larger horizon of the specific threat of nuclear weapons and, more generally, the US’s warmongering habits and imperial impulses; our inherited and reinforced patterns not just of sexual discrimination but outright misogyny; and then an increasingly conflictual, prophetic engagement with the forces of homophobia (especially within the church) and devoted pastoral presence within the LGBTQ community... The stories in this book of adventures in faith are from shackling outside a Woolworth lunch counter, to the apartment of Soviet dissidents during the Cold War, to Bangkok hotel gatherings with insurgent leaders in South Asia, to Central American jungles, to Saddam’s parade grounds and the Warsaw Cathedral during Solidarity’s ascension. There is abundance here." –Ken Sehested

    Excellent memoir that shares with the reader Williamson’s childhood influences, his curiosity for learning, his adventurous nature and the internal processing of his experiences that changed his beliefs, attitudes and behavior.

    It is written in an easy conversational style of short chapters. I went back through it a second time to make note of some books he mentions that I would like to read.
