Beschreibungen
As many black churches attempt to become welcoming spaces for LGBTQ people, preachers are navigating ways to develop sermons that are more inclusive and welcoming. Pastors and ministers can begin transforming their congregations to become extensions of Christ through preaching sermons about radical inclusive Christian hospitality (RICH). RICH preaching encourages its hearers to embrace those of the queer community as neighbors deserving of love, compassion, and healing.
Antonio L. Torrence is the Transitional Pastor of the Federated Church of Livingston in New Jersey as well as Assistant Minister of Strategic Planning at Trinity Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York. He teaches sermon development at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. He served as the pastor for Cross of Life Lutheran Church (1998–2018). He is a business manager for Princeton University.

“This book is a timely expression of Dr. Torrence’s pastoral insight and commitment to pursuing justice for LGBTQ+ folx, and it enfleshes some of the significant transformations we need in order to live more fully into an expansive vision of God’s kin-dom.”
