Publisher description
This raw and riveting fictionalized memoir lays bare the state of Christianity in the turbulent 1960s, when society re-evaluates its beliefs about morality, love, sex, and spirituality. Scott Lively, a United Church of Canada minister in Toronto North preaches The New Morality (love, then do as you like), specifically that young lovers might engage in pre-marital intercourse though not legally married. Soon he is labeled 'The Sex Cleric', and is called to account by his congregation. Though the story takes place in 1966, the issues of which Scott Lively speaks prophetically and passionately are still relevant today. This book will appeal to spiritual seekers who may be disinterested or uncomfortable with the institutional church. Activists interested in social justice will also be attracted to the narrative
