Memoirs of a Gay Christian Brother

Bill Stevens is a member of the Congregation of Christian Brothers, a religious congregation founded by Edmund Rice in Ireland in 1802. Bill joined the Religious Congregation in 1951 at the age of 17 and, after his initial formation, taught in their schools for 24 years. His life then took a turn, and for the next 40 years he was a hospital chaplain, created a nonprofit organization to reach out to the AIDS community, became a Reiki and Tai Chi teacher, and was a chaplain for a hospice. But this book is really not about that. This memoir is about the journey of a gay man from birth to the age of 90.
