A multifaceted sourcebook telling the powerful story of reconciliation, celebration and struggle for LGBTQI inclusion across the American religious landscape.

No matter what stage in the process of change, religious belief is unveiled in all its dynamism in this book…. Wrestling with issues and struggling for better understanding of one’s fellow human beings is at the center of every religion, no matter how old or new, narrow or expansive, Western or Eastern, that religion is. The struggle itself is a sign of life in these religious endeavors, and with life there is hope.
-from the Foreword by Bishop Gene Robinson
