- "This is a book about gays and gayness in the Anglican Church of Canada. .... Gay men and lesbians have a dispute with the churches, their institutional structures and their leaders. The gay point of view in that controversy has not been made widely available to the heterosexual majority in the Anglican Church of Canada. Much of it therefore, will be a surprise to those who read the following pages. By and large, the gays who are represented in this book love the church and remain loyal to it. At the same time they have a pointed and critical commentary to make on the religious community that nurtured them." -- Intro., p. 1.
