On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin S.J. posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. "The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected," he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics--and people everywhere--to "stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters." A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support--and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another--Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times.Now, Martin expands on his reflections in this moving and inspiring book, offering a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. Adapted from an address he gave to New Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a Bridge provides a roadmap for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's children. Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge to enable LGBT Catholics and Church leaders to come together in a call to end the "us" versus "them" mentality. Turning to the Catechism, he draws on the three criteria at the heart of the Christian ministry--"respect, compassion, and sensitivity"--as a model for how the Catholic Church should relate to the LGBT community. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $x Catholic Church. $x Catholic Church. 650 0 $a Church work with gays $x Catholic Church. 650 0 $a Church and minorities. 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christian Life / Social Issues. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christianity / Catholic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Sexuality & Gender Studies. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 9 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710035216.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021546.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909045144.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011055.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107051637.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110458.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20171122010629.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20171104011222.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20170817011038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F35FB14A7C0011E7A25D394097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
