A book about queer theology and the debate around same-sex marriage within the Church, written by a priest in a committed same-sex relationship. It explores the concept of same-sex marriage in relation to the heteronormative definition of marriage and its effect on past understandings of the sacrament, and lays the groundwork for redefining the traditional definition of marriage.

A profound and thought-provoking exploration of queer theology and the ongoing debate surrounding same-sex marriage within the Church. Drawing upon her unique perspective as a priest within the Church of England who has been in a committed same-sex relationship, Clare Herbert delves into the complex and multifaceted issues that have shaped religious discourse for decades.

In this book, Herbert examines the concept of same-sex marriage in the context of the traditional heterosexual definition of marriage and its impact on our understanding of the sacrament. Through a rich tapestry of stories from Christians who are navigating the challenges of reconciling their faith with their sexuality, as well as broader queer theology and the theology of marriage, Herbert offers a distinctive perspective on God's understanding of love and relationships.

Herbert challenges the traditional notion of marriage as solely between a man and a woman and proposes a reimagining of the concept that encompasses the diverse experiences and expressions of love. She advocates for a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of marriage that recognizes the validity and dignity of all relationships, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

Through her thoughtful and engaging writing, Herbert provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue surrounding same-sex marriage within the Church and beyond. Her book offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities of faith and sexuality, promoting understanding and empathy, and ultimately fostering a more inclusive and loving community for all.
