This book is a must read for anyone whose church is struggling with
the issue of homosexuality. It is the story of a part-time seminary
student and church bulletin stuffer, who successfully challenged
the old and refuted science in the Episcopal Church's theological
explanation for consecrating a partnered gay bishop. Further, it is
only as her own faith grew that she was given a voice to tell the
leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion what she has learned.
But first she had to learn how to forgive those who had injured her
as she lived in an angry, polarized church. And even as she was
called forward, she was plagued by eerily timed deaths and a life
threatening illness. While that happened, she made shocking
discoveries about the politics in our society that masquerades as
science, and even more shocking discoveries of underhanded politics
in the church.
But this story is not just a documentary of a failing church.
It is a warning and ultimately an encouragement regarding the
effects of culture wars in the church. A failure to live in
community first and to engage in honest, respectful theological
discernment is destroying a denomination and threatening a
worldwide church. But the story also shows God's amazing ability to
offer new life to the faithful in the face of difficult and
destructive circumstances.
