Shaping Sanctuary: Proclaiming God's Grace in an Inclusive Church provides inclusive worship materials (essays, liturgies, hymns, new words to familiar hymn tunes and a study guide) that value the diversity of sexuality and embody incarnation. When reviewing this volume, Professor James B. Nelson, author of Emodiment and Body Theology, said this work may well help the church "rediscover its soul."

The book has also been said to be a gift to the church, but for the church to truly benefit from the gift, we must make use of this resource and distribute to the broadest possible audience.

Already people have taken the initiative to order books for their former college chaplains, mentors, favorite Sunday School teachers and pastors. Some congregations are talking about putting the book in their pews as a supplement to their hymnals. Use the study guide to conduct a class within your community -- it's a useful tool to explore theology that values our embodiment as sexual beings.
