520 |a "I have written this book because although I am concerned about the claims being made by homosexual groups that insist sexual orientation is unchangeable, I am equally disappointed by the misinformation and malignancy I have seen coming from the Christian church. (For the purposes of this book, when I refer to the church or Christians, I am referring to those who embrace a biblically conservative theology regarding homosexuality.) ... Not too long ago, I found a comment posted on a Christian website ...: 'As a gay male, I do not subscribe to the radical elements of either the right or left. I believe that, as with most politicians, the gay extremists have lost touch with the desires of their so-called constituents. They have invented an enemy--the religious right--and must perpetuate the imaginary injustices wrought upon them. I believe that both sides have a radical element which ignores a basic tenet for good living: love thy neighbor.' ... The purpose of this book is not to teach Christians how to convince gay people they should change or how to 'convert' homosexuals to Christianity. Only God can do these things. The purpose of this book is to teach Christians how to love homosexuals, which is our calling (John 13:34). To do this, we must enter the homosexual's world. We must learn to show love in such a way that it can be recognized. In other words, we must 'become flesh,' just as Christ did for us. Success in doing so requires a humble spirit, a vibrant prayer life, and a thorough understanding of the issues faced by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered) people."--Pages 11-14.
