Abstract

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning (LGBTQ) persons struggle with the need to compartmentalize our lives. With so many insisting that one cannot be gay and Christian, we construct a dividing line between what happens on a Saturday night and who we are in a Church on Sunday morning. I do not believe that this is an issue with which only LGBTQ persons struggle. I believe that most Christians struggle to reconcile the messiness of everyday life and their self-representation in Church. Much of this compartmentalization centers around the tension between what is sacred and what is secular. I seek a homiletic that bridges that gap and allows church and culture to speak plainly to each other.
