Queering the Church

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>Church dialogues including official reports and debates within the General Synod operate under the premise that canonical authority can shape a viable theology and coherent ecclesiastical and liturgical practices. In a groundbreaking departure from conventional methodologies Queering the Church offers a rigorous examination of the hermeneutical frameworks that inform discussions on homosexuality within ecclesiastical governance. Drawing inspiration from Halberstam's concept of the 'queer art of failure' Doe advocates for a fundamental shift-a move away from entrenched institutionalized debates toward a more inclusive deconstructive discourse. Rather than perpetuating cycles of authoritative rhetoric Doe proposes a transformative realignment-one that challenges traditional power dynamics and fosters a more equitable theological dialogue. Provocative and timely this book promises to illuminate new avenues toward a nuanced comprehension of church discourse.</span></p>
