Pastoral Care to and Ministry with LGBTQ Youth and Young Adults weaves sound theology and solid practice to offer insight and introspection about helping and ministering to some of our most vulnerable in our congregations and/or parishes--LGBTQ youth and young adults. Moreover, the book provides pragmatic pastoral strategies that can be successfully implemented into Christian youth ministries and young adult ministries. The book examines traditional understandings of homosexuality and transgender in Scripture from a marginalized perspective. The book analyzes current theological and pastoral practice and "moves the needle" to offer new insights and fresh ideas regarding pastoral care to and ministry with LGBTQ young people. This book is perfect for youth/young adult ministers, lay leaders, pastors, parents, and academics who are interested in LGBTQ issues, topics, and ministry. The book invites students, scholars, and practitioners to understand the subtleties and nuances of providing pastoral care and ministry to God's queer young people. For anyone serious about LGBTQ young people, this book is a must!
