Grew up Episcopal in Detroit, short tour as a teenage atheist, then Jesus freak circa 1971, absorbed into evangelicalism (via Vineyard) only to change my mind on LGBTQ+, which got me ejected from Vineyard and evangelicalism. Latest book (before God Be in My Head) written with Emily Swan, is my effort to move past the anxious system of evangelicalism to the place I started--Solus Jesus: A Theology of Resistance (ReadTheSpirit2018).

Father of six, and, after being widowed, married to Rev. Julia Huttar Bailey, an Episcopal priest (the best one too!) I received a B.S.N. from the University of Michigan; before entering the pastorate, I worked in community mental health.

Quotes by Ken Wilson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The demands of acceptance require us to maintain a relationship of honor and respect with those with whom we may ardently disagree. We accept the fact that our convictions on this matter differ, and those with whom we differ hold their convictions, as we do, unto the Lord. Inasmuch as this is not easy for us to do, we commit ourselves to bearing it as part of the disciple's cross. We don't agree to disagree by diminishing the importance of the question or by insisting that people care less about the issue.”
― Ken Wilson

“If we have a hair trigger on the exclusion gun, shouldn't it be aimed at those who are using their power to abuse someone who is in a weaker, more vulnerable position?”
― Ken Wilson

“We so want to be right and so trust that our desire to be right is something that God would surely bless. Yet the desire to be right comes with a price: the fear of being wrong. And so, in a counter-intuitive way, this focus on being right seems to be the porridge we settle for when we exchange our birthright because we're famished and fear that father won't feed us.”
― Ken Wilson
