Summary:

Written by the Director of the Lesbian and Gay Ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, this extraordinary new book cuts through the controversy and argument about homosexuality to present a compassionate explanation of official Church teaching. Everyone talks about homosexuality yet most Catholics, even pastors, are ignorant of the Church's newest, positive thoughts on the issue. This book presents these teachings and the sound pastoral practices that arise from them. Above all, the book emphasizes the Church's position that personhood is made up of so much more than one's sexual orientation and that God and grace are found in every person's story -- without exception.
