Two pieces that are worth reading in the conversation about church and homosexuality.
The first is from Sam Wells on What Does the Identity of Being LGBT Add to the Identity of Being Christian?
and the second is a paper by Philip Blond and Roger Scruton on Marriage: Union for the Future or Contract for the Present
From an Australian Perspective there are a few other pieces that may be of interest.
a) 5 Uneasy Pieces through ATF Press http://atfpress.com/five-uneasy-pieces.html
b) 5 Uneasy Reflections, short pieces and extracts from the above mentioned book http://www.changingattitude.org.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/5-Uneasy-Reflections.pdf
c) Sexegesis (the above book triggered a quick evangelical response in the form of Sexegesis) http://www.sexegesis.com
d) Being Gay, A conversation on gay issues for young people by Jeff Carroll - available through the Uniting Church in Australia office in Perth, Western Australia.
d) http://ucgay.org.au a project of some people within the Uniting Church in Australia
e) I don't think it's available any longer (but it should be) "Looking Beyond the Fig Leaves" a bible study resource published by the UCA. I'll do a hunt down to see if it can still be accessed.
