The Christian Church tells gay people that they are unacceptable to God. It has falsely represented Jesus to a world that has always accepted that, if the Church says it, it must be true. There is a vast mission field out there, but the Church is singling gay people out as enemies of God as if He doesn't want them to be saved.

The Christian Church tells gay people that they are unacceptable to God. It has falsely represented Jesus to a world that has always accepted that, if the Church says it, it must be true. There is a vast mission field out there, but the Church is singling gay people out as enemies of God as if He doesn't want them to be saved. The Church Is Dead is an attempt to convince the Church of its fundamental error regarding salvation. This book explains what the Church must now do. The Church and the gay community are not going to agree in the near future on whether homosexuality is natural. Rather than put a wedge between the two parties, however, the Church needs to decide what is important. The Church Is Dead challenges the established churches' beliefs and pronouncements on the subject of salvation, especially regarding the concept of faith plus works. It condemns the teachings of the pastors of some of the megachurches regarding tithing, and how they have used their pulpits to feather their own nests, making themselves fabulously wealthy at the expense of the poor people they cajole and bully into giving money to their churches. It is my hope that The Church Is Dead will convince the Church it's on the wrong track; that it will challenge Christians who condemn gay people because they think God expects them to; that it will encourage gay people, showing them that, even if the Church hates them, God doesn't.
