Description: A Time to Every Purpose combines the Religious Declaration and the six Open Letters into a valuable new resource for religious leaders, faith communities and advocates of sexual justice. In addition to the declaration and the letters themselves, we have provided facts and figures that point to the economic justice issues at stake, and to the urgent need for policies and social action. We offer responsive readings that you may adapt to your own religious tradition and use in your services. Each section of this publication poses questions for group study and individual reflection. Because the language of sexual orientation, gender identity and reproductive health can be puzzling, we have provided a glossary of terms..., as well as lists of resources for additional information, counsel and support. (from the Foreword).
Notes: Compiled and edited by staff and interns of the Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing: Debra W. Haffner, Yamuna Menon, Kate. M. Ott, Timothy Palmer, Ammon Ripple, Katey Zeh.
