Healing for the Rest of Us : You can be inclusive and still enjoy this Gift of the Spirit
Overview
I have been engaged in healing ministry for more than 20 years. During that time I have been taught and mentored by some incredible, gifted, kind people. But also during that time I often had to remain quiet about my beliefs that the Gospel encompasses all my siblings in Christ, not just the cis-gendered ones. I think that many of my friends knew what my beliefs were. We tacitly agreed not to talk about such things.
A couple of years ago I joined another international group whose focus is healing and that had its origins in the Episcopal Church. I had hopes that this would prove to be the healing ministry that was open to all persons. It was not. I won't name the group here, but its leadership is not Episcopal, or inclusive. While they permit members of the LGBTQ+ community to join, they bar them from any leadership or teaching positions.
I could not remain a part of a ministry that treats my siblings in Christ as second-class members, and I thought I'd exhausted my options. I did not like feeling alone, so I expressed my disappointment on an Episcopal Facebook group. Many of the responses there said, in one way or another, "Well then, start one." I don't know if I'm the right person to do this, but I seem to be the one who wants to see it happen, so I'm trying.
This book is my attempt to provide some basic teaching about healing for Christians who are inclusive, but who also feel drawn to healing ministry. There must be an alternative, and I hope that together we can make one.
