We are interacting with people made in the image of God, who our Savior bled and died to redeem. We are interacting with someone God literally loved to the point of his own death.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCultivate Community With LGBTQ+ Neighbors \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches' response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+ people at arm's length. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut there is another way, one that resists both culture wars and the pressure to revise scriptural teaching; one that embraces people and clings to historic witness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLove All Our Neighbors\u003c\/i\u003e, Tony Scarcello shows how holding a traditional sexual ethic does not have to lead toward the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from church. Drawing from biblical theology, cultural data, and the author's personal experience as a same-sex-attracted pastor, this book teaches traditional Christians and churches how to truly care for LGBTQ+ people. Scarcello explains how churches can and should be places of conviction, humility, and radical love for everyone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLove All Our Neighbors\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll learn \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow Jesus loves LGBTQ+ people and desires to know them, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow churches have built unbiblical barriers between LGBTQ+ people and Jesus, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to dismantle these barriers and minister with care, without compromising orthodox theology. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're a church leader who upholds a traditional sexual ethic and seeks to genuinely care for LGBTQ+ individuals, you'll find this book both challenging and transformative.
