Here’s
an exciting new entry into the discussion of the church and its
relationship to its non-heterosexual members! The Seventh-day Adventist
church was, early on, a supporter of social justice issues like
slavery and the rights of women. For over 100 years it has supported
religious liberty for all citizens – but as the church
grew and its pioneers died, so did the fervor for these issues.
Yet, Adventists still cling to a heritage that truth is progressive;
and when new light comes from understanding Scripture the church
wants to be ready to accept "present truth."
This
collection of chapters and responses covers a wide range of
topics from scriptural analysis to personal experience, written
by respected professionals from within the Adventist community.
It seeks to open the door to discussion, without making any
claim to provide ultimate answers. Each chapter and each response
concludes with a series of questions that can be used to stimulate
discussion. This should make the book suitable not only for
Adventists, but for many religious communities.
