A timely, courageous and revealing personal memoir from the figure at the centre of the explosive storm that is changing the face of Anglicanism worldwide. 

In 2003, Gene Robinson was elected as the Bishop of New Hampshire – the first openly gay man to be appointed to such a position. Clearly beloved in his diocese and chosen from a wide selection of candidates, the election was entirely proper and the result clear cut, yet it sparked a hurricane storm of controversy that has polarised religious opinion on five continents and still rages five years on. 

Here, Gene Robinson reflects on his journey of faith, his life experiences, the concerns that matter most to him as a bishop and the controversy that has rocked the church he loves and to which he is committed.
