Description
Jesuit priest James Martin urgently calls on Catholic leaders to treat LGBTQ+ believers in a new way characterized by compassion and openness. In this inspirational book, he draws from his long-standing encounters with people 'on both sides of the bridge' and reflects on the three virtues proposed by the Catechism of the Catholic Church — respect, compassion, and consideration — suggesting ways in which representatives of the Catholic hierarchy and LGBTQ+ Christians can draw closer to each other on the path to mutual reconciliation. This groundbreaking book also includes spiritual and biblical resources for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families and friends. The author accompanies biblical passages with meditations and reflective questions that can help LGBTQ+ people find their place in the church and enter into a deeper relationship with God. His thoughts also open the possibility for Christian communities to accept such individuals with understanding. A book that is desperately needed in today's atmosphere of division.
