| Summary: | Can excommunicated Mennonites or pastors under discipline, denominational leaders, and persons holding widely varying perspectives actually have a genuine conversation on homosexuality rather than battle each other? This book records what happens when the quest is not for victory but for writers who (1) convey persuasively and movingly their own viewpoints to make them available as a treasure others can learn from; and (2) learn from the treasures of viewpoints other than their own. Homosexuality is one of the more contentious issues communities of faith as well as entire religions and cultures are facing in our day. This book is shaped by the dream of a time when out of a swirl of diverse yet treasured perspectives might come if not a choir at least improvisational jazz. What if those who care deeply about homosexuality played not only against but also with each other even while they highlighted trumpet, piano, or clarinet in their solo moments? That is what this volume asks. |
