Will outlines succinctly the current contention regarding LGBTQ within the United Methodist Church. First, I believe this should be required reading before annual conference regardless of your position. Also, I think if many of the churches and people looking to pull out of the denomination would have led their leadership and congregation through this book before doing anything else we'd also be in a better spirit. I highly recommend leading a group through each section slowly and prayerfully.
Small quibbles:::: Will presents a poor Wesleyan description of both the Traditionalist and Progressive side around the issues. He basically puts ink to pen enough to generate buzz forward, which is what moves the book in a better pacing than fleshing out the full hoopla. Sidenote: I know folks across theological spectrums differing greatly on the topic, and I wonder if a better description of the current situation is 1) full inclusion; 2) partial inclusion; 3) full exclusion, and 4) don't give a damn.
