"Too often the discussion around homosexuality in the Church focuses on sin, when the real question before us should be: How can the Church faithfully minister to and love homosexual Orthodox Christians? Jesus befriended those who were marginalized because he knew it was only in the security of loving, unconditional relationships that hearts and lives are healed. Similarly, we cannot explore the issue of homosexuality without hearing the life, stories, and witness of faithful, Orthodox Christians who happen to be gay." -Justin R. Cannon, Editor "Homosexuality in the Orthodox Church" is a glimpse into the life, witness, history, and struggle of Eastern Orthodox Christians who happen to be gay. Throughout this book you will find... ...first hand accounts by Orthodox Christians and family ...an essay by an Ukrainian Orthodox bishop ...a brief history of Axios, a ministry to LGBT Eastern Orthodox Christians ...a study of the Scriptures often studied and cited in reference to homosexuality ...resources on homosexuality in the Orthodox Church
