| Publisher Description: This memoir by Trudie S. Barreras is specifically focused on the author's efforts to find a meaningful basis in the context of Christianity to maintain an ongoing relationship with her husband after he acknowledged his homosexuality. Although there are many "coming out" stories now available, and a few narratives of the way in which a heterosexual spouse of a gay individual may have made a realistic adjustment to co-parenting of children after separation, the option to remain married seems to be fairly unique. Besides describing the actual events in the lives of this couple and their extended family, the narrative discusses aspects of the development of Metropolitan Community Church, outreach experiences in the Dominican Republic, and the interplay of other factors such as retreats and meditation. The author discusses here reasons for rejecting the extremely rigid definitions of sexual ethics promulgated by major Christian denominations in favor of a more honest interpretation of Love as taught by Jesus. |
