Heavy burdens : seven ways LGBTQ Christians experience harm in the church / Bridget Eileen Rivera. by Rivera, Bridget Eileen, 1989- author. Grand Rapids, Michigan : Brazos Press, a division of Baker Publishing Group, [2021] Subjects Christian sexual minorities -- Religious life.   Church work with gay people. ISBN:  9781587434839 (paperback) : 1587434830 (paperback) : Description:  232 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Religious faith reduces the risk of suicide for virtually every American demographic except one: LGBTQ people. Generations of LGBTQ people have been alienated or condemned by Christian communities. It's past time that Christians confronted the ongoing and devastating effects of this legacy. Many LGBTQ people face overwhelming challenges in navigating faith, gender, and sexuality. Christian communities that uphold the traditional sexual ethic often unwittingly make the path more difficult through unexamined attitudes and practices. Drawing on her sociological training and her leadership in the Side B/Revoice conversation, Bridget Eileen Rivera, who founded the popular website Meditations of a Traveling Nun, speaks to the pain of LGBTQ Christians and helps churches develop a better pastoral approach. Rivera calls to mind Jesus's woe to religious leaders: "They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them" (Matt. 23:4). Heavy Burdens provides an honest account of seven ways LGBTQ people experience discrimination in the church, helping Christians grapple with hard realities and empowering churches across the theological spectrum to navigate better paths forward.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 261.0866 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 261.0866 Rivera Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 261.0866 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList
