In this online CLGS Lavender Lunch Bill Glenn reads from – and comments upon – his recently-published book I Came Here Seeking a Person (Paulist Press, 2022).
This book is a spiritually-focused memoir: from Bill’s childhood in a Midwestern Irish Catholic family in the 50’s and 60’s; through almost ten years as a member of the Jesuit Order; to his subsequent life as a sober, out gay man – detailing his complex journey of faith over the span of 74 years.
William D. Glenn, currently the chair of the Board of Trustees of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley, California, is a Pacific School of Religion (PSR) alum and a co-founder of CLGS, along with his husband Scott and several former PSR faculty members. Bill is a retired psychotherapist and longtime community leader in the LGBTQ+ community.
