Queer Fear: Ministry Made Strange by the Fear of the Sexual Other

Authors

  • Stephen V. Sprinkle

Abstract

If the recalcitrance of the church makes enacting the vision of a fully inclusive ministry of women and men of all ethnic and racial extractions and sexual orientations seem like a fool's errand, then we must reorder our fears about that. We must not be afraid to fail any longer - we must instead be afraid not to try.
