Queer-Affirming Pastoral Care

Summary

Is it possible to combine Christian and queer-affirming attitudes in a counseling context? This book provides concrete case studies to show that it is indeed possible and shows how this connection can be touching and liberating.

Kerstin Söderblom explains the meaning of queer-affirming pastoral care, using narrative miniatures of counseling sessions. The basis for this is the evaluation of case studies from pastoral care and casual services. Moreover, it presents queer-friendly impulses for pastoral care sermons, queer "re-readings" of biblical texts, prayers and rituals.

The book shares exciting and touching stories from a pastoral-theological world that is usually still completely ignored. It combines professional pastoral care work with the question of how it can be offered to queer people in an appropriate and respectful way.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "Equal Rites" by Terry Pratchett tells the story of Eskarina, a young girl who is accidentally made a wizard in a world where only men can be wizards. The narrative explores her journey as she tries to reconcile her destiny with the expectations of her society. Simultaneously, the book presents a unique perspective on magic, contrasting the practical, nature-based magic of witches with the academic, ritual-focused magic of wizards. E.s.k.a.r.i.n.a. finds herself caught between these two worlds as she grows into her own power. The book also delves into themes of gender roles and the influence of belief and perception on reality. The story follows E.s.k.a.r.i.n.a. as she begins to explore her abilities, and her path is constantly challenged by the established rules of her world.
