A veteran Mennonite pastor and theologian gathers writings from over fifteen years that make the case that Christian congregations should be welcoming of LGBTQ people and bless same-sex marriage. The book is organized in three main sections: the biblical and theological bases for welcome, an analysis of the particular dynamics in Mennonite communities (that parallel dynamics in other traditions), and a critique of numerous writings from various perspectives on these issues.
