Happy: LGBTQ+ Experiences of Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity

Meer over het boek

Exploring the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals within Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic churches, this book delves into the complex narratives shaped by societal and religious discourses on sexuality. Drawing on theories from Foucault and Butler, it highlights the tension between authenticity and acceptance, illustrating the barriers that prevent full participation in ministry. While some found supportive congregations, others faced rejection, leading them to distance themselves from both their communities and their faith. The narratives reveal the profound impact of these experiences on personal identity and belief.
