Praise for this book

'From fear to love, from conditional to unconditional, from judgment to mercy, ' this is the conversion experience of one wise bishop whose caring discernment on the vexed subject of homosexuality is what the over-heated Episcopal Church needs now more than ever. There could not be a more timely or useful book than this for a church in turmoil, a fine example of pastoral, personal, and prophetic theology.--Professor Peter J. Gomes, The author of The Good Life
