We Will, With God’s Help: Perspectives on Baptism, Sexuality, and the Anglican Communion

“‘We Will, With God’s Help’: Perspectives on Baptism, Sexuality, and the Anglican Communion” is a compelling set of three recent lectures delivered by Episcopalian theologians Fredrica Harris Thompsett, William H. Petersen, and Katherine Grieb to a gathering of Anglican church leaders intent on preserving both the unity of the worldwide Anglican communion and inclusion of its LGBT members. These papers draw on historical, biblical, and pastoral theology to emphasize the centrality of the sacrament of Christian baptism as the original font of full participation in the church.
