- Summary:
- A theological and autobiographical reflection in which Ralph Basui Watkins examines masculinity, privilege, and Christian attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people. Drawing on his experiences in church and ministry, Watkins describes his movement from traditional teachings that excluded LGBTQ+ individuals toward a theology centered on inclusion, belonging, and the liberative message of the Gospel. The work advocates for greater pastoral care and support for LGBTQ+ Christians within the church.
