Congregations in Conflict: The Battle over Homosexuality

Rating:
Summary: A Fascinating Book
Review: I bought this book, thinking it might contain good information but reconciled to the fact that it would probably be boring. NOT!!!! It is written in the style of "And The Band Played On." The stories arise from situations in churches in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of NC. There's a good bit about Duke Divinity School also. Seeing the conflicts through the eyes of participants (some of whom I actually know) made them so real, so powerful. This book was very well researched and reaches some helpful conclusions. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Fascinating book that reads like a series of mysteries.
Review: The book takes a crime-story approach to specific battles over homosexuality in each denomination in a small area of the country. You want to keep reading so that you can find out what happens. And some of the outcomes are really surprising, like the Baptist church that ends up blessing the gay union.
