The Bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church shares his own views of his own life experiences and the views of the Church, particularly in regard to GLBT people. As Desmond Tutu points out during the introduction, the book does a wonderful job of presenting what made Robinson such a well loved person in his disocese.

He is particularly interested in taking a look at how the bible views GLBT people as he presents his argument with the hope of showing how the church needs to adapt like it has in the past with issues of gender and race. He says that like with the other perspectives, the Bible does not have a clear understanding of sexual identity because until recently it has been on the outskirts of our society. That means it can be defined by modern church leaders by looking to the Scriptures in an attempt to apply a realistic way of fully accepting the GLBT community in the Church sigh love and respect.

Overall, the argument is good, and I would defintiely be interested in having having Robinson as a spiritual leader. I could see him bringing be back to a chuch. If he speaks with search open honesty as he writes, he must be inspiring. He tends to be a bit long winded, but it is worth the read.

My one really big disappointment was that I expected this to be an autobiography rather than a religious treaty. I would have liked to know more about his life. That could have been really inspiring.
