Marc Adams, Lambda Literary Award finalist and Silver Pen Award recipient for his autobiography, The Preacher's Son spoke at the Sunday morning service here at TUUC Sunday, August 9th. His message is tittled, "From Fundamentalism to Freedom." You may check-out an audio CD of that service from our TUUC library.

The Preacher's Son chronicles Marc's life growing up gay as a son of a fundamentalist Baptist minister in rural Pennsylvania where he endured a childhood of physical, emotional and spiritual abuse. He went on to attend, by choice, Jerry Falwell's Liberty University where he also was employed for 3 1/2 years in the student recruiting/university relations department. His book articulately reveals life at Liberty and the struggle to conform to the standards for which he would have been a martyr. He shares about his years as an ex-gay. It culminates with his coming to terms with being gay and his coming out to his fundamentalist Baptist Christian family and his journey to become a UU.
