To The Tune Of A Welcoming God: Lyrical Reflections On Sexuality, Spirituality, And The Wideness Of God's Welcome

A timely collection of essays and hymns eloquently calling for a Christian faith that extends an affirming welcome to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons. To the Tune of a Welcoming God brings academic insight, prophetic vision, and poetic clarity to the question of the church's welcome to those GLBT Christians at its doorstep and already in its pews. Author David Weiss, while rooted deeply in his own Lutheran context, reaches out in these engaging and provocative writings to challenge, encourage, and empower persons regardless of their particular tradition. Teachers, students, pastors, and laypersons whether gay or straight will find these short texts worthy of long reflection and conversation.
