The Darlinghurst bookshop has some new books coming out on Religion and spirituality
I havent read them yet – so Im not recommending – but thought people might find them interesting. Any feedback on them would be great also.
For example –
Heaven Bent : Australian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Experiences of Faith, Religion and Spirituality – Heaven Bent brings together academics, religious leaders, activists, politicians, theologians and everyday people to explore a diverse range of spiritual expressions amongst LGBTI people in Australia.
