This book relates the unique experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) people in Australian
Pentecostal-Charismatic Christian churches. Grounded in the
theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Lewis
Coser, and others, the book exposes the discursive 'battleground'
over the 'truth' of sex which underlies the participants' stories.
These rich and complex narratives reveal the stakes of this
conflict, manifested in 'the line' - a barrier restricting out
LGBTQ+ people from full participation in ministry and service.
Although some participants related stories of supportive-if
typically conservative-congregations where they felt able to live
out an authentic, integrated faith, others found they could only
leave their formerly close and supportive communities behind,
'counter-rejecting' the churches and often the faith that they felt
had rejected them.
