KlappentextThis book relates the unique experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) people in Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic Christian churches. Grounded in the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Lewis Coser, and others, the book exposes the discursive battleground´ over the truth´ of sex which underlies the participants´ stories. These rich and complex narratives reveal the stakes of this conflict, manifested in the line´ - a barrier restricting out LGBTQ+ people from full participation in ministry and service. Although some participants related stories of supportive-if typically conservative-congregations where they felt able to live out an authentic, integrated faith, others found they could only leave their formerly close and supportive communities behind, counter-rejecting´ the churches and often the faith that they felt had rejected them.
