THE BLUE BOOK: AN ONLINE RESOURCE COVERING GENERAL QUESTIONS ON
HOMOSEXUALITY
- The Presbyterian Church of Mount Kisco, New York, is a More Light Church and a
member of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians, welcoming people of all sexual
orientations. We seek to end the ignorance, silence and fear regarding this issue. Our
mission is to educate our members and the larger community through information and
outreach.
"What We Wish We Had Known"
Because of the fear and loneliness around the subject of sexual orientation, our
church has produced a helpful and healing resource we call "The Blue Book."
There are no mystical meanings here, just a reference to the hard copy version,
which has a plain blue cover.
The complete title is, "What We Wish We Had Known --- a Resource to Help End
the Silence."
Its purpose is to help families and congregations heal broken relationships and
affirm the differences that make us human together. It is intended for those who
know very little about the subject, as well as those whose families and personal lives
have been deeply affected by misunderstanding.
The subject is considered in four aspects: Science, Psychology, Sociology and
Theology. A complete bibliography is found at the end of the work.
Browse through the online book, choosing the topics that interest you most, at least
at the present time.
