Product Description
Review
Here is an oasis in the desert of the Anglican debate . . . This book is rightly aimed at those who are unresolved on questions about homosexuality. Its contention that these questions are important but should not be church-dividing will ring true with many. --Professor David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
Product Description
Controversy about same-sex relationships within the Anglican Communion rumbles on, and has brought with it much distress and division. The stakes are undoubtedly high and serious informed discussion of the issues is rare, which makes this collection of essays by nine Cambridge theologians all the more timely. It provides a useful contribution to the absent debate, and is aimed at those probably the vast majority of churchgoers who are undecided on the issue. An Acceptable Sacrifice? gives lay people and clergy alike the resources to think through this complex subject in relation to scripture, tradition and reason, and attempts an honest exploration of some of the key difficulties posed for the Church by the question of homosexuality. "'AN ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE?" THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: NO. It is not acceptable for us to discriminate against our brothers and sisters on the basis of sexual orientation just as it was not acceptable for discrimination to exist on the basis of skin colour under Apartheid.' Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
