Just picked up A House of Many Mansions and that opening explaining Christianity seems useful for any LGBT+ friends with Christian parents trying to come up with analogies

Paragraph of Page 6 of A House Of Many Mansions that reads- Christian acceptance, none of the subsequent redefinitions of Christian orthodoxy pleased everybody. In 451, for example, the Fourth Council (that of Chalcedon) ruled that Chistians must confess two Natures in Christ: one divine; the other human. The Copts of Egypt, the Gregorians of Armenia and the Jacobites in Syria (so called after Jacob Baradeus, who first organized them as a church) preferred to regard Christ as being essentially God, and both Rome and Byzantium came to regard them as Monophysite, or 'One Nature' heretics. In 680, the Sixth Council (the Third of Constantinople) proceeded further to assert that Christ had not only two natures, but also two energies and two wills. Those who refused to accept this ruling were condemned as Monothelite, or 'One Will' heresiarchs. The outcome was that Christianity, in Byzantine Syria, came to consist of different sects: some followed Byzantine orthodoxy and were called Melchites (usually taken to mean the 'king's men', with reference to the Byzantine emperor; while others adhered to the Monophysite, Monothelite or other 'heterodox' confessions of the Christian faith.
