Over coffee

the long version

Over Coffee is a narrative piece couched in the coffee-house conversation between Dave and a small-town pastor. The pastor has a gay church member who wants to be openly coupled in the church. Over Coffee warmly introduces the reader to a biblical, faith-based dialogue for providing room on the pew in today's most conservative churches for gay partnered persons. In this work Dave provides an uncommonly informative bridge for two otherwise seemingly opposing audiences. Over Coffee brings to the table two respective views, and dispels the polarizing stance from which they are customarily positioned. This is done so within a conservative context that embraces biblical relevance and conservative faith tenets, while presenting a case for holding gay partnership within a similar framework in which the Bible embraces any other human condition.--Publisher
