I recently hosted an LGBT Group meeting at church on what books I might recommend to people looking for something to read about the church and the various sexuality issues that are around at the moment. I think that there was some surprise amongst those present as to how many books there were to talk about. Anyway, I promised to put up a booklist on the blog and here it is, or at least a start.

	Know My Name: Gay Liberation Theology	Probably the book that I’ve found most helpful in recent years. We drink from our own wells too.
	The Queer Bible Commentary	Does what it says on the tin
	Take Back the Word – A Queer Reading of the Bible	Just the thing for a bit of serious bible study.
	Equal Rites: Lesbian and Gay Worship, Ceremonies and Celebrations	Inclusive liturgy including some excellent funeral material
	Disclosures: Conversations Gay and Spiritual	Stories. So many stories.
	Coming In: Gays and Lesbians Reclaiming the Spiritual Journey	Spirituality, vocation, prayer, community
	On Being Liked	Prominent Catholic theologian, James Alison. (Looking forward to meeting him in June!)
	Coming Out Through Fire: Surviving the Trauma of Homophobia	Confronting prejudice and moving on
	In the Eye of the Storm	Bishop Gene in his own words
	The Essential Gay Mystics	Oh, there is nothing new under the sun.

So, what are you reading?
