Summary

Religious Affiliation Breakdown examines the complex relationship between religious identity and LGBTQ+ identity.  It explores how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate their spiritual lives both within and outside traditional religious frameworks, considering factors like denominational policies and community support.  Understanding this negotiation is critical for fostering inclusive environments. The book analyzes demographic variations across different faith traditions, levels of religious attendance, and affiliation retention rates among LGBTQ+ individuals.  For example, minority stress theory helps explain the mental health consequences of religious rejection. The study draws from diverse fields such as sociology, religious studies, and psychology, offering a holistic perspective.  Structured in three parts, the book first clarifies core concepts, then delves into specific faith traditions to analyze LGBTQ+ affiliation trends.  Finally, it explores the impact of religious attendance on LGBTQ+ well-being, using quantitative data and qualitative insights. The book's comparative analysis across diverse faith traditions and demographic subgroups offers a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing religious affiliation among LGBTQ+ individuals.

Around the Wicket Gate

Millions of men are in the outlying regions, far off from God and peace; for these we pray, and to these we give warning.  But just now we have to do with a smaller company, who are not far from the kingdom, but have come right up to the wicket gate which stands at the head of the way of life.  One would think that they would hasten to enter, for a free and open invitation is placed over the entrance, the porter waits to welcome them, and there is but this one way to eternal life.  He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men?   He who does not take this step of faith, and so enter upon the road to heaven, will perish.  It will be an awful ting to die just outside the gate of life.  Almost saved, but altogether lost!  A man just outside Noah's ark would be drowned; a manslayer just outside the wall of the city of refuge would be slain; and the man who is within a yard of Christ, and yet has not trusted hi, will be lost.  Therefore am I in terrible earnest to get my hesitating friends over the threshold.  Come in! Come in! is my pressing entreaty.  May the Holy Spirit render it effectual with many who shall glance at these pages!  May he cause his own almighty voice to be heard creating faith at once!   
 
To God this book is commended; for without his grace nothing will come of all that is written.
