Coming out as gay as a priest guaranteed immersion into controversy, contradiction, and challenge. This book tells of the Reverend Canon Ted Karpf's navigation of new social and romantic journeys, all within the context of his priestly vocation in the Episcopal Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Covering from 1968 to 2018, Karpf recounts his vivid memories, life-changing dreams and resonant reflections on living a life of faith in a socially and politically tumultuous period. His narratives are crafted as poetic meditations on enduring values and meaning, which can remind any reader that we are neither abandoned nor alone, and that forgiveness is a fulfilling way of living in a world of contradictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Karpf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476679592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476679594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Toplight Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Ted Karpf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123899920639,"sku":"9781476679594","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b6710a9-421c-4804-9bc5-82a8ae9e34d3.jpg?v=1687433551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/acts-of-forgiveness-ted-karpf-9781476679594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
