Coming In

The issue of homosexuality has become one of the most contentious within the Christian church today. Urs Mattmann shows that the spiritual & practical aims of gay & lesbian people are no different from those of others on the path of true spirituality throughout the ages; in fact, their particular lifestyles & experiences put them in a better position to work for good in the world. The author explores a mystic spirituality & describes numerous practical steps that gay men & women can take in order to connect with their innate spiritual nature & express it in their daily lives & relationships. He provides prayers, meditations, rituals, exercises & other suggestions to foster spiritual discovery. Addressing the unique gifts that gays & lesbians have to offer to the rest of us - 'queer' gifts not only for personal development but also for service in & to the world - this book shows how a relevant & liberating spirituality can enrich the lives of gay & lesbian people on a practical level.
