A unique new publication:

Let Our Voices Be Heard!
Christian Lesbians in Europe Telling their Stories

The publication is written in English, and contains texts from lesbian women with Christian background from 26 European countries. The Norwegian editor Randi O. Solberg has gathered personal life experiences, poems, prayers, photos and illustrations of 95 lesbian women to an impressive anthology.
The book gives an insight to the diversity of Christian beliefs within Europe.
Lesbian women – for instance with protestant, anglican, catholic or orthodox background get a voice in the book. But also ex- Jehovas witnesses, ex-Mormons or lesbians that have converted to Islam or Buddhism tell their stories.
These stories reflect the socio-political contexts and conditions within the different European countries. In addition, every new country chapter is started by a short overview about the respective situation of lesbians and gays in society and churches.
An introducing essay outlines thoughts about a lesbian-feminist liberation theology and emphasises that and how theology is always shaped by personal life and faith experiences of particular people.
The book shows how Christian lesbians in Europe live and believe, with which difficulties they have to struggle, and what is giving them hope, courage and energy.
It therefore offers an excellent starting point for constructive discussions about the subject “Homosexuality and the Churches”.
