LETTERS, Page 6Trivializing Theology
I must object to Richard Ostling's skewed reference to the Rev.
Carter Heyward's new book, Touching Our Strength: The Erotic as
Power and the Love of God (RELIGION, Nov. 13). In quoting
Heyward's work out of context, Ostling has trivialized a serious
piece of theological scholarship and social analysis. Through the
experiences of lesbians and gay men, Heyward addresses a society
and culture that exclude and oppress many people. Her work is built
on an understanding that our love of God and God's love for us are
inseparable from our search for justice through loving
relationships with others.
