I stopped reading, got up out of my chair and called a Lesbian member of our church, a dear woman in her 70s, and asked her if we could have coffee tomorrow and I ask her what her experience of church has been, her experience of God, and how might we do better? It also seems clear that this process of asking questions might be a very good idea in any number of situations.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage turns his attention to the relationship between LGBT Catholics and the Church in this loving, inclusive, and revolutionary book. On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin S.J. posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. "The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected," he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics--and people everywhere--to "stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters." A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support--and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another--Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times. Now, Martin expands on his reflections in this moving and inspiring book, offering a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. Adapted from an address he gave to New Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a Bridge provides a roadmap for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's children. Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge to enable LGBT Catholics and Church leaders to come together in a call to end the "us" versus "them" mentality. Turning to the Catechism, he draws on the three criteria at the heart of the Christian ministry--"respect, compassion, and sensitivity"--as a model for how the Catholic Church should relate to the LGBT community. -- Provided by publisher.

It doesn't name, for example, the Catholic church's role in the harm it has done to the LGBTQ community. It does recognize the CC has not always been respectful and understanding, but naming one's sin is part of repentance. In this case, there is still a holding onto the idea that the CC is not the sinner in the relationship.
It also reminds me of the ELCA's stance prior to the 2000s (my background) It recognizes there are gay and lesbian priests and nuns (finally), but also holds onto the idea that suppressing who they are is both beneficial to the church and the communities they serve. It is a "don't ask, don't tell" model. Granted, even if priests and nuns did come out, it would still mean a chaste lifestyle, so the priesthood can never really take the next step.
The good news is there is acknowledgement that the LGBTQ is a part of the church and not a threat to the church. There is a call for more listening and more acceptance. It is a good baby step.
A bridge? Not quite yet. Maybe something more than 150 pages with 76 pages being the actual text and the rest being devotions and prayers. (
