Archives: Editor’s Choice – Pastor dealing with Same-sex attraction

This interview was first posted on 5 May 2024. Chang Tou Chen is a Christian pastor. He still experiences same-sex attraction. In his words, it makes him a “micro minority”. How does he live with this tension? With remarkable courage, Tou Chen shares candidly about his past experiences with sexual addiction. He talks about choices, emptiness, rejection and the travesty of being judged. In this thought-provoking interview, IQ Chief Editor and former NMP, Viswa Sadasivan probes: • Now that you are a pastor, do you judge someone who is gay? • Why do we assume that if you are gay, you are promiscuous? • Do you feel judged for your own choices? It’s a no-holds barred discussion – very rare for this topic by a pastor.
