ABSTRACT: Project director: J Earl Thompson, Jr. The hypothesis
of this paper is that gay men who seek to celebrate their relationship
in a covenantal union service should have the benefit of pre-covenantal
counseling. The differences between marriage and covenant and
the covenants of God with Abram, Jonathan with David, God with
humanity in the Christ event, and the covenant of being in the
prodigal son story provide the theological basis. A ritual of
union and a homosexual case study show the psychological basis
to be the family of origin, generational patterning and systems
approach. The project emphasizes the role of the participating
clergy and the importance of the doctoral program to the author.
