Wesley Hill’s Spiritual Friendship (Brazos Press, 2015) is a wonderful short book on the importance of friendship and community. The focus that many Christian communities have on the joys and significance of marriage tends to push friendships to the margins. This brings a lot of loneliness, especially to those who feel that God is calling them to a celibate life. At the end, the author raises the question of whether (celibate) gay Christians might be uniquely gifted to help the church have a healthier view of friendship, so that we might better encourage and build each other up.
