Should the widowed be allowed to form intimate relationships without remarrying? Should the church receive people who identify as LGBTQ into its community and support gay and lesbian relationships? Should congregations publicly and liturgically witness and affirm divorces? Should the church's moral standards continue to be set by patriarchal males? Bishop Spong proposes a pastoral response based on scripture and history to the changing realities of the modern world. He calls for a moral vision to empower the church with inclusive teaching about equal, loving, nonexploitative relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Shelby Spong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060675071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060675073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.36w x 0.70d","brand":"John Shelby Spong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652080070911,"sku":"9780060675073","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4921afb8-5c26-4bf9-8160-71c51b3db39a.jpg?v=1704214466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-in-sin-john-shelby-spong-9780060675073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
