Book: And the Spirit Led Me: Walking with God through a Church Disaster

Posted July 18, 2011

(from the jacket...)
This book is an important read for anyone whose church is struggling with the issue of homosexuality. It is a true story of a part-time seminary student, who successfully challenged the old and refuted science in the Episcopal Church’s theological explanation for consecrating a partnered gay bishop.

Only as her own faith grew was she given a voice to tell the leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion what she had learned. But first she had to learn how to forgive those who had injured her as she lived in an angry, polarized church.

Even as she was called forward, eerily timed deaths and a life threatening illness plagued her. At the same time, she made shocking discoveries about the politics in our society that masquerades as science, and even more shocking discoveries of underhanded politics in the church.
(I'm in the midst of reading this-so far, it's a fascinating account of Jackie's first hand experiences in dealing with the issues listed above, but also about her efforts to maintain her Christian walk with integrity. -PD)
