What are the core elements, possibilities, and limits of that hospitality? How are evangelical churches showing this hospitality to gay persons? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers an approach for each church, pastor and lay leader to confront bad theology, poor practice, and take up the Great Commission to EVERYONE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53049908035917,"sku":"9781597557184","price":25.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/KCCy9ofLm89781597557184.webp?v=1766433328","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/welcoming-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
