A Letter to My Congregation de Ken Wilson
While there were some interesting issues and discussions raised as a result of reading this book, in the end it was not particularly helpful to me. Yes, he carefully dealt with some of the pastoral issues faced by churches and pastors who minister to people in same-sex marriages, I did not find the theological and hermeneutic content to be convincing or even terribly helpful. I plan on reading James Brownson's book, "The Bible, Gender, and Sexuality" in hopes that I can learn more there.

Fixed hour prayer is uniting us together in the Spirit.
NCLA Review -Despite the confrontational tone of the subtitle, the author is not attacking anyone on Jesus’ behalf. Rather, “Jesus brand spirituality”—according to Wilson —is the way of living that Jesus modeled. Christians are pilgrims trying to follow Jesus down his path. We are faithful when we take one step at a time in the light we are given, and focus on our own spiritual state rather than that of others. Wilson sees following Jesus less as an act of obedience than as a response to the pull of Jesus. His non-judgmental spirit and respect for individuals make this a good book for seekers, and believers who are re-examining the essence of Christianity. He speaks easily of traditional and non-traditional theology and leading-edge scientific thought, as well as boots-on-the-ground discipleship. Through personal anecdotes Wilson lets us know himself as a fellow pilgrim, but the book is not built around his experiences. Its warmth and air of discovery captivates the reader. This pastor/author snaps up the window shades when we didn’t even realize the room was dark. Rating: 4 —DKW Thomas Nelson 2008, 220p, 97808849920530, $19.99 [248.4]… (més)
