Love All Our Neighbors How Churches That Hold a Traditional Sexual Ethic Can Care for LGBTQ People Cultivate Community With LGBTQ+ Neighbors
In Love All Our Neighbors , Tony Scarcello shows how holding a traditional sexual ethic does not have to lead toward the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from church. Drawing from biblical theology, cultural data, and the author’s personal experience as a same-sex-attracted pastor, this book teaches traditional Christians and churches how to truly care for LGBTQ+ people. Scarcello explains how churches can and should be places of conviction, humility, and radical love for everyone. In Love All Our Neighbors , you’ll learn • how Jesus loves LGBTQ+ people and desires to know them, • how churches have built unbiblical barriers between LGBTQ+ people and Jesus, and • how to dismantle these barriers and minister with care, without compromising orthodox theology. Our churches can become environments where LGBTQ+ people can find and follow Jesus in life-giving community.
