How does a Christian live who is single? And can he have homoerotic feelings that he does not act upon? Ed Shaw is a pastor who does exactly that. What may initially seem like a pious oddity is, in truth, the beginning of a revolution in the Christian community: daring to embrace more intimacy and closeness. Ed Shaw demonstrates how intimacy and familiarity can become the ferment of a church where people can find a home with God, within themselves, and with one another. Intimacy and chastity are key concepts that do not stand in opposition to each other but rather coexist, opening a space where healing relationships can thrive. This book has the potential to overturn conventional notions of a sanctified life within Christian communities. The author raises questions and thoughts that resonate with both liberal and evangelical congregations.
