Happy: LGBTQ+ Experiences of Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity

Exploring the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals within Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic churches, this book delves into the complex narratives shaped by societal and religious discourses surrounding sexuality. Drawing on theories from notable scholars, it highlights the tension between authenticity and exclusion, as participants navigate their faith amidst restrictive barriers. While some found acceptance in conservative congregations, others faced rejection, leading to a painful departure from their supportive communities and a reevaluation of their faith.
