Through engagement with theologies of adoption, pro-natalism,
marriage, and queer theology, Susannah Cornwall figures
developments in models of marriage and family not as distortions of
or divergences from the divinely-ordained blueprint, but as
developments already of a piece with these institution's being.
Much Christian theological discussion of family, sex and marriage
seems to claim that they are (or should be) unchanging and
immaculate; that to celebrate their shifting and developing natures
is to reject them as good gifts of God. However models of marriage,
family, parenting and reproduction have changed and are still, in
some cases radically, changing. These changes are not all a raging
tide to be turned back, but in continuity with goods deeply
embedded in the tradition. Alternative forms of marriage and family
stand as signs of the hope of the possibility of change. Changed
institutions, such as same-sex marriage, are new beginnings with
the potential to be fruitful and generative in their own right. In
them, humans create new imaginaries which more fully acknowledge
the interactive nature of our relationships with the world and the
divine.
