Brokeback Mountain and the Church
From the Rector
I just finished reading the short story Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx, first published in the New Yorker. The story has been made into a recently-released film.
The story is beautifully written and masterfully presents the tensions between male affection and dominant culture. It is a story experienced by many in our world and the Church.
Our Christian and spiritual lives need to make sense in connection to real world experiences - the stuff of the best stories we tell. Real human lives are the focus of God's love in Christ and our faith needs not (dares not) shy away.
