"Greig Dunn and Chris Ambidge editors".

Includes bibliographical references.

"The homosexuality issue prompts us to engage in dialogue with scripture and tradition, with contemporary culture and experience, and with academic disciplines such as history, psychology, philosophy, and the law. The writers of this book begin by assuming that all who discuss the place of gay and lesbian Christians in the church hold their positions sincerely, and that this sincerity deserves respect. They continue by suggesting new avenues along which dialogue might proceed. Anglicanism has been distinguished, since the Reformation, for its ability to embrace a wide range of divergent viewpoints. Differing responses are not cause for division. Instead they offer opportunity for dialogue, enabling respect and reconciliation". -- back cover.

"Three of the contributions were originally delivered as addresses at the Halfway to Lambeth Conference in Manchester, England, in October 2003". -- Acknowledgements. [The three papers were those by Michael Ingham, Rowan Q. Smith and Mario Ribas].

Contents divided into seven main sections: Engaging in Dialogue -- The Dialogue with Scripture and Tradition -- The Dialogue of Church and Culture -- The Dialogue with Other Disciplines -- Leadership and Dialogue in a Time of Crisis -- Abandoning Silence in Favour of Dialogue -- Continuing the Dialogue.
