Grounded in the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Lewis Coser, and others, the book exposes the discursive 'battleground' over the 'truth' of sex which underlies the participants' stories. These rich and complex narratives reveal the stakes of this conflict, manifested in 'the line' - a barrier restricting out LGBTQ+ people from full participation in ministry and service. Although some participants related stories of supportive-if typically conservative-congregations where they felt able to live out an authentic, integrated faith, others found they could only leave their formerly close and supportive communities behind, 'counter-rejecting' the churches and often the faith that they felt had rejected them. Mark Jennings (he/him) is the Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at Wollaston Theological College and University of Divinity in Australia. He has published on Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity, gender and sexuality, secularisation, and neoliberalism. He is the author of Exaltation: Ecstatic Experience in Pentecostalism and Popular Music. 001453895 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001453895 650_0 $$aPentecostals$$zAustralia. 001453895 650_0 $$aChristian sexual minorities$$zAustralia. 001453895 650_0 $$aPentecostalism$$zAustralia. 001453895 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453895 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJENNINGS, MARK.$$tHAPPY.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2023$$z3031201434$$w(OCoLC)1346294675 001453895 830_0 $$aCHARIS: Christianity and renewal--interdisciplinary studies. 001453895 852__ $$bebk 001453895 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-20144-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001453895 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1453895$$pGLOBAL_SET 001453895 980__ $$aBIB 001453895 980__ $$aEBOOK 001453895 982__ $$aEbook 001453895 983__ $$aOnline 001453895 994__ $$a92$$bISE
