Grace & Power: Sexuality and Gender in the Church of England (Temple Tracts Book 3)

How does the Church of England approach the “secular” concepts of equality and diversity, and what is the role of power in these debates? Combining critical theory with theology, 'Grace & Power: Sexuality and Gender in the Church of England' argues for an increasingly nuanced debate, centred on notions of hospitality and inclusion. Author Hayley Matthews’ research gives voice to many homosexual clergy who report feeling fundamentally constrained from being ‘fully themselves’ due to prevailing attitudes within the Church. As such, this e-book challenges the Church to consider whether claims of a faith represented by an all-loving God are compatible with current debates on gender and sexuality.
