Although the focus of Unlearning the Basics is strictly Buddhist, the overarching perspective is ecumenical. It gives a critical Asian perspective on the contemplative foundations that must be in place for active ministry to be truly life-giving.  If you read it, let's discuss it !!!

I'm looking for recommendations for books about the relationship between LGPT people (preferably lesbians) and Christianity. I'm especially interested in theology and scripture.

Looking through my shelf the other day, I realised that I have lots of queer theory and lots of books about Christianity, but the two never meet.

I'm hoping you all have thoughts and recommendations on this.

OK. This time for real. Have read several reviews, looks good.

Book discussion on "The Great Emergence - How Christianity is Changing and Why" by Phyllis Tickle

I'm going to start this thread and see what happens. I have been wanting to read this book for a while now. I'd say lets give everyone about a month to get the book and start into it.

Start date: April 6th

Post if you have any ideas or comments. I'd like to hear from people on the left and the right, and lets try to allow everyone to have his/her own opinion.

Does anyone like the idea of starting a book discussion group here at WonderCafe?

I was thinking we could all take a period of time to read an agreed upon book and then set a date to start discussion. The only problem I see is trying to agree which book to read...

Thoughts, suggestions, queries?
