Members of Community of
Christ (formerly the RLDS
church) have polarized opinions
concerning the status of their
fellow members who are
homosexual. The two major issues
are priesthood ordination (in a
predominantly lay church) and
whether the church will marry and
bless same-sex weddings.
Homosexual Saints explores these
issues with twenty-four narratives
that explain the experience of gay
and lesbian members of
Community of Christ, as well as
the experiences of their family
members and supporters.
The volume includes a detailed
history of the status of
homosexuals in the church since
1954, and a preface by celebrated
Mormon historian D. MICHAEL
QUINN.
