Talking Faith Sexuality At Church Home: A Guide for Pastors, Congregations, and Families

Talking about faith and sexuality can be a challenge, especially in the church. But it's a conversation that we need to have, because it's an important part of our lives. We all have a sexual orientation and a gender identity, and these are part of who we are as human beings. They are also part of our faith journey.

In this book, I will provide you with a comprehensive guide for talking about faith and sexuality in a healthy and productive way. I will share practical advice, theological insights, and real-life stories that will help you create a welcoming and inclusive church community where everyone feels valued and respected.

Chapter 1: What Does the Bible Say About Faith and Sexuality?

In this chapter, I will explore what the Bible says about faith and sexuality. I will look at the different passages that are often used to support both traditional and progressive views on sexuality, and I will provide a balanced and nuanced interpretation of these passages.

I will also discuss the importance of context when interpreting the Bible. The Bible was written over a long period of time, and the cultural context in which it was written is very different from our own. It is important to take this context into account when we are trying to understand what the Bible says about faith and sexuality.

Chapter 2: How to Talk About Faith and Sexuality with Your Child

In this chapter, I will provide you with practical advice on how to talk about faith and sexuality with your child. I will cover topics such as when to start talking about sexuality, how to answer your child's questions, and how to support your child if they come out as LGBTQ.

I will also share stories from parents who have successfully talked about faith and sexuality with their children. These stories will provide you with encouragement and inspiration, and they will help you to see that it is possible to have a healthy and open dialogue about these important topics.

Chapter 3: How to Create a Welcoming and Inclusive Church Community

In this chapter, I will provide you with practical advice on how to create a welcoming and inclusive church community for LGBTQ people. I will cover topics such as how to make your church building more welcoming, how to create LGBTQ-affirming programs and ministries, and how to respond to anti-LGBTQ attitudes and discrimination.

I will also share stories from churches that have successfully created welcoming and inclusive communities for LGBTQ people. These stories will provide you with inspiration and guidance, and they will help you to see that it is possible to create a church where everyone feels valued and respected.

Chapter 4: Resources for Further Learning

In this chapter, I will provide you with a list of resources for further learning on faith and sexuality. These resources include books, articles, websites, and organizations that can provide you with additional information and support.

I hope that this book will help you to have a more informed and nuanced conversation about faith and sexuality. I pray that it will help you to create a more welcoming and inclusive church community for LGBTQ people. And I pray that it will help you to live your own faith journey more fully and authentically.
