This book assesses the current and historical context of the fight over homosexuality. The author discusses the Higton debate in the 1980s; Clause 28; the 1998 Lambeth Conference; Issues in Human Sexuality; the abortive appointment of Jeffrey John; the blessing of gay partenerships in Canada; and the election and consecration of Canon Gene Robinson in New Hampshire. There are interviews with leading figures on both sides of the divide--liberal and evangelical--in which they justify their positions on homosexuality, indicating just how bitter and divisive the dispute has become. "It offers compelling insights into a power struggle between factions seemingly united only by their mutual antipathy, and conducted, paradoxically, in the name of true communion."--Jacket.
