Other Voices Other Worlds
Terry BrownPaperback 2006-04-15
Publisher Description
Anglican churches worldwide are sharply divided on homosexuality. The dominant stereotype is that of a ?global south? vehemently opposed to a liberal and decadent ?global north, ? with irreconcilable differences between the two sides. Nothing is further from the truth: homosexual behavior exists across the whole Anglican Communion, whether it is openly celebrated or quietly integrated into local churches and cultures. In this extraordinary book, Christians throughout Africa, Asia, and the developing world ? bishops, priests and religious, lay people, and academics ? open up dramatic new perspectives on familiar arguments and debates. "Other Voices, Other Worlds" reveals the rich historical and cross-cultural complexity to same-sex relationships, and throws an explosive device into a debate that has become stale and predictable.
