This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Baptism as Radical Inclusion: Reclaiming the Sacrament for a Diverse Church explores the transformative power of baptism through the lens of 2SLGBTQ+ theology. This book offers a reimagined understanding of baptism as a sacrament that not only initiates individuals into the Christian faith but also affirms the full dignity, identity, and belonging of all people, regardless of gender, sexuality, or cultural background. Through theological reflection, historical exploration, and personal stories from 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, this book examines the ways in which traditional baptismal practices have both included and excluded marginalized groups. The author presents a vision for the future of the church, where baptism is a public witness to justice, equity, and radical love. This reimagined theology of baptism calls the church to move beyond exclusionary doctrines and embrace the richness of diversity in God’s creation. With practical guidance on inclusive baptismal rites and reflections on the transformative experiences of those who have reclaimed their identities through the waters of baptism, this book is a valuable resource for pastors, theologians, and lay leaders seeking to create welcoming, affirming communities. Key Themes Covered: • The history of baptismal practices and how they have excluded marginalized communities • Queer theology’s reinterpretation of baptism as a sacrament of liberation • Personal stories of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals experiencing belonging and transformation through baptism • Practical ways to implement inclusive baptismal rites in diverse faith communities For anyone interested in how the Christian church can embrace and celebrate the full diversity of God’s people through the sacrament of baptism, this book offers both theological insight and practical application.
