Title Queer virtue [electronic resource eBook] : what LGBTQ people know about life and love and how it can revitalize Christianity / The Reverend Elizabeth M. Edman.


Contents The path of queer virtue -- On the inherent queerness of Christianity -- Identity -- Risk -- Touch -- Scandal -- Adoption -- A priestly people -- Pride -- Coming out -- Authenticity -- Hospitality -- A wild, reckless dream of love.
Summary LGBTQ people are a gift to the Church and have the potential to revitalize Christianity. Frustrated by the notion that Christian love = tolerance, Edman argues that Christianity, at its scriptural core, is not a tradition that is hostile to queer people but is, in fact, itself inherently queer. Edman reveals how queering Christianity—that is, disrupting simplistic ways of thinking about gender and sexuality—can illuminate contemporary Christian faith and shows why queer Christians are gifts to the Church.
