Marriage
"We also wish warmly to affirm those sisters and brothers, already in membership with orthodox churches, who - while experiencing same-sex desires and feelings - nevertheless battle with the rest of us, in repentance and faith, for a lifestyle that affirms marriage [between a man and woman] and celibacy as the two given norms for sexual expression. There is room for every kind of background and past sinful experience among members of Christ's flock as we learn the way of repentance and renewed lives, for "such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11). This is true inclusivity."

Synopsis
"Dan il-ktieb fih messagg qawwi fis-semplicita tieghu. Qawwi ghax jisfida u jqanqal mistoqsijiet dwar certi punti ta' twemmin stabbilit fostna. Semplici ghax bi stil mexxej u bla teknikalita zejda, l-awtur ihajrek tezamina kollox fid-dawl ta' l-Iskrittura Mqaddsa. Appuntu t-titolu tal-ktieb - l-awtur konvint li d-dawl genwin li jwassalna ghall-verita niksbuh biss mill-Ktieb Ispirat. Bhala wiehed li jiehu l-fidi Kristjana b'serjeta u impenn, l-awtur ma jistax ma jikxifx certi dottrini kif imhaddna llum mill-Knisja Kattolika. Imur f'ras il-ghajn billi juza siltiet relevanti mill-Katekizmu tal-Knisja Kattolika. Hekk johrog kuntrast, kultant sorprendenti, mat-taghlim bibbliku. Filwaqt li l-awtur mhux ifittex kontroversja bhala ghan fiha nfisha, jibqa' l-fatt kull min jaqra' dan il-ktieb ma jistax jonqos milli jirrabja ghalih inkella japprezzah u jhobbu - skond fejn tkun il-lealta' tieghu.
