Coming out as a sacrament
i found this extremely interesting, enlightening, and challenging as i look at the difficult process of coming out.
i'm still not there yet, but someday i will be "out" and oh how refreshing and liberating that will be!
only in God's perfect timing, equipped with His perfect and all-sufficient grace.

While I haven't read Mona West's pamphlet, Chris Glaser wrote a wonderful book a few years ago titled "Coming Out as Sacrament" that was a really good read. "Gifted by Otherness: The Gifts Gays and Lesbians Bring to the Church" by M.R. Riley and Bill Countryman is at the top of my list and I'm pretty sure runs through some similar vain as the resource you provided.
Hi there.....I'm sure coming out is such a timing thing. I like the concept of it being a sacrament. I'm sure many of never fully comprehend the profound impact coming out has on our emotional, spiritual, psychological and even physical well being.
We are all much healthier from living in the light.

being out can be liberating but it must be at your own pace, best of luck on your journey
