Description

Heavy Burdens: Seven Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm in the Church by Bridget Eileen Rivera explores the devastating effects of traditional Christian attitudes towards faith, gender, and sexuality on the lives of LGBTQ individuals. Drawing on her sociological training and leadership experience, Rivera sheds light on seven ways in which LGBTQ people face discrimination within churches. This book provides an honest account of these experiences, helping Christians to grapple with hard realities and empowering them to develop a better pastoral approach. By examining the harm caused by unexamined attitudes and practices, Heavy Burdens offers a crucial conversation starter for churches across the theological spectrum.
