Description

In this revised and expanded paperback of his groundbreaking book, Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling writer James Martin makes the surprisingly controversial argument that Catholic leaders will have to stop seeing the LGBT community as “the opposite” and as a substitute reach out to them with greater compassion and openness.

This new edition features a new introduction along side forty percent new material, including stories from LGBT Catholics, and responses to the common questions about ministry to LGBT people. Father Martin turns to a few virtues from the Catechism of the Catholic Church—”respect, compassion, and sensitivity”—as a model for how both the Catholic leadership and LGBT Catholics can move together on a “two-way bridge” toward reconciliation and love.

This revolutionary book also includes spiritual and biblical resources for the LGBT community and their families, friends, and allies. Father Martin offers biblical passages, accompanied by meditations and questions for reflection, to lend a hand LGBT people find their place within the church and enter into a deeper relationship with God. Building a Bridge is a compassionate book desperately needed in these days’s climate of divisiveness.
