Encouraging Conversation - Resources for Talking about Same-Sex Blessings

Just out from Morehouse Publishing, ENCOURAGING CONVERSATION: Resoureces for Talking about Same-Sex Blessings.

 Professor Fredrica Harris Thompsett is editor, forward is by Bishop V. Gene Robinson, and Chapter 3 is by Patricia Bird and me. 

 The blurb online reads, "With the authorization of "I Will Bless You and You Will Be A Blessing," more Episcopal parishes will be preparing to be in conversation about same-sex blessings and issues of sexuality. This volume is designed to tell the stories of parishes and dioceses where the conversation has been held: what worked, what didn't work, how the conversation shaped and was shaped by those involved. Harris Thompsett pulls in a range of voices and resources, designed to aid those congregations now approaching this exciting opportunity."

Worth the read. Glad to have been part of it. Buy it HERE.

    Thank you, Fr. Mark, for this resource. I have taken the liberty of promoting it on my kiwianglo website in New Zealand. hopefully, there will be some read the book who presently struggle with the concept. Agape.

OK... Comments, gripes, etc welcomed, but with some cautions and one rule:
Cautions: Calling people fools, idiots, etc, will be reason to bounce your comment. Keeping in mind that in the struggles it is difficult enough to try to respect opponents, we should at least try.

Rule: PLEASE DO NOT SIGN OFF AS ANONYMOUS: BEGIN OR END THE MESSAGE WITH A NAME - ANY NAME. ANONYMOUS commentary will be cut.
