Publisher's Description
As many black churches attempt to become welcoming spaces for LGBTQ people, preachers are navigating ways to develop sermons that are more inclusive and welcoming. Pastors and ministers can begin transforming their congregations to become extensions of Christ through preaching sermons about radical inclusive Christian hospitality (RICH). RICH preaching encourages its hearers to embrace those of the queer community as neighbors deserving of love, compassion, and healing.

“This book is a timely expression of Dr. Torrence’s pastoral insight and commitment to pursuing justice for LGBTQ+ folx, and it enfleshes some of the significant transformations we need in order to live more fully into an expansive vision of God’s kin-dom.”
“Pastor Torrence’s book, R.I.C.H in Preaching, details his powerful project with Trinity Baptist Church, where, through preaching and ongoing pastoral relationship, seeds of radical inclusive Christian hospitality toward LGBTQ people were not only planted, but are beginning to grow! While this book’s primary audience is the Afro-Caribbean Christian community, it is a liberating and challenging word for any community yearning to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
“This book is rich for those who are sincere about being open and inclusive of all of humanity. I would recommend the reading of this book for those who desire to reflect on their own biases . . . and for those who wish to be inclusive of a new generation of people to faith communities. This was written with great integrity and is rich in content.”
