Emerging: A Collection of Essays on Identity, Faith Dislocation, Queer Reckoning and Formation
When Michael McLeod knew it was time to signal to the world that he was gay and that he needed to step away from his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he did it by writing. Over four years, his published essays chronicled a journey from closeted, orthodox Mormonness to post-faith, identity-affirmed discovery. His essays appear in print for first time in A Collection of Essays on Identity, Faith Dislocation, Queer Reckoning & Formation.
Heartfelt and hurting, revealing and celebratory, these pieces explore what it means to be formed in a faith tradition that limits and denies one’s deepest longings, and the messy freedom in reckoning with one’s truth, the deconstruction of faith and the emerging of a more authentic self.
