Biography

Michael S. Piazza is a spiritual visionary, author and social justice advocate who currently serves as Dean of the Cathedral of Hope, the world’s largest liberal Christian church with a primary outreach to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered people.

He has five published books, Holy Homosexuals, Rainbow Family Values, Mourning to Morning and Growth or Death, and the recently published Queeries: Questions Lesbians and Gays have for God. Rev.
