ABSTRACT Interviews with 20 adults who self-identified as both Christian and LGBTQI+ were examined for themes of identity and Christian history, affiliation, and vocation. Considered in the context of denominational and congregational struggles over scripture, policy, and decisions with respect to inclusion, leadership, and same sex marriage, these 20 participants have traditional histories and often non-traditional pathways to faith and service. The following manuscript will address these themes of identity and Christian history, affiliation, and vocation including the question of who determines who is a Christian and who is not.

LGBTQI+ 和基督徒？谁来决定？

摘要 对 20 名自我认定为基督徒和 LGBTQI+ 的成年人进行了访谈，调查主题包括身份和基督教历史、隶属关系和职业。考虑到教派和会众在关于包容、领导和同性婚姻的圣经、政策和决定方面的斗争，这 20 名参与者拥有传统的历史，而且通常是非传统的信仰和服务途径。以下手稿将讨论身份和基督教历史、隶属关系和圣召的这些主题，包括谁决定谁是基督徒，谁不是基督徒的问题。
