Other Voices, Other Worlds: The Global Church Speaks Out on Homosexuality [Large Print] [Paperback]

Terry Brown (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 8, 2006

Anglican churches worldwide are sharply divided on homosexuality. The dominant stereotype is that of a ?global south? vehemently opposed to a liberal and decadent ?global north, ? with irreconcilable differences between the two sides. Nothing is further from the truth: homosexual behavior exists across the whole Anglican Communion, whether it is openly celebrated or quietly integrated into local churches and cultures. In this extraordinary book, Christians throughout Africa, Asia, and the developing world ? bishops, priests and religious, lay people, and academics ? open up dramatic new perspectives on familiar arguments and debates. "Other Voices, Other Worlds" reveals the rich historical and cross-cultural complexity to same-sex relationships, and throws an explosive device into a debate that has become stale and predictable.

This review is from: Other Voices, Other Worlds: The Global Church Speaks Out on Homosexuality (Paperback)

Terry Brown's edited volume is a very important contribution for those seeking to understand global struggles over homosexuality within the Anglican/Episcopal tradition and other Christian bodies. The many voices here share many helpful analyses and perspectives. I've been waiting for a book like this for years.
