Description

It is a pleasure to respond to Melendez and LaSala's (2006) critique of my article "Epistemological Frameworks, Homosexuality, and Religion: How People of Faith Understand the Intersection between Homosexuality and Religion" (Hodge, 2005a). Over the course of our profession's history, we have expanded our understanding of diversity to include characteristics such as race, gender, and sexual orientation Both writers have contributed to this evolving understanding. Melendez has added to the andragogy knowledge base (Garcia & Melendez, 1997), and LaSala (2001, 2004) has enhanced our ability to provide culturally competent services to gay and lesbian clients. The evolutionary process, however, has not always been smooth (Guzzetta, 1996; Sue & Sue, 2003). With each iteration of diversity, misunderstandings occurred as existing groups struggled to deal with previously unheard voices. Given the often problematic task of interpreting text (Derrida, 1976), misunderstandings occurred when existing definitions and tools were applied in new ways. At present, the profession is beginning to grapple with the issue of spiritual diversity.
