Queering Christianity

Here is a collection of essays on gay Americans and Christianity. Rachelle Brown begins with her discussion of the “radical love of Jesus” by comparing a same sex union to a kitchen design. The perfect kitchen design allows readiness, exploration, participation, discovery, and renewal. No argument here, I bet that the family that cooks together stays together. It’s not unusual either for ethnic dishes, like Gumbo, injera, and couscous to be made as one big pot that is shared communally.

Robert Shore-Gross writes of the basis of LGBT acceptance stemming from the doctrine of acceoting all faiths equally. Christian and Buddhist teachings both have similar messages, so why not learn from both? He includes a quote from Dharmasamgiti Sutra; understand great compassion, and you have learned the basis of all others.
