Heterosexism: An Ethical Challenge

A ground-breaking book that shows that the prevailing sexual ethic is no longer useful. In this ground-breaking book the authors show that the prevailing sexual ethic is no longer useful. It presumes as ideal, a uniform morality based on a limited understanding of human sexuality. Heterosexism is revealed to be a system of prejudice that both grows out of and supports this ethic. It produces various forms of discrimination, particularly those against gay and lesbian people, that cannot be justified. The authors investigate scripture and tradition and explore emerging social scientific data regarding sexual identity, taking seriously the experiences of gay and lesbian Christians. Their investigation supports the view that reformation of Christian sexual ethics is both necessary and possible. They suggest that offering a pluriform rather than a uniform sexual ethic will result in a more responsible and viable dialogue on the ethical questions that emerge when we move beyond heterosexism.

Reformation rites for ordination and installation of ministers appeared throughout sixteenth-century Germany in official Church Orders. New theological understanding was expressed in these attempts to shape an evangelical rite but not a new theological datum. When the liturgical reforms are studied in context, one can discern continuity between the medieval and early Reformation Church regarding ordination and public ministry. Early reformers, including Martin Luther, never abandoned what the inherited rites intended. The ritual distinctions - matters of degree, not of kind - reveal the significance of the continuity.
