Ah, more people are coming to welcome the possibility of a queer Christ, which will enable them to see the Christ within us queers. Here’s a quote an a link to the original article:<br /><br />“After much reflection and with certainly no wish to shock, I felt I was left with no option but to suggest, for the first time in half a century of my Anglican priesthood, that Jesus may well have been homosexual. Had he been devoid of sexuality, he would not have been truly human. To believe that would be heretical. Heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual: Jesus could have been any of these. There can be no certainty which. The homosexual option simply seems the most likely. The intimate relationship with the beloved disciple points in that direction. It would be so interpreted in any person today.” -- Paul Oestreicher today in the Guardian. Thanks to Madpriest for alerting me to this great article.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2012/apr/20/was-jesus-gay-probably" rel="nofollow">“Was Jesus gay?

I’m loving each one. David, I appreciate your statement that “in a very real way you continued this mission of Christ in our times.” That’s what I thought this morning when I decided to write about this attack from Newsbusters instead of getting the gay Passion series posted on time today. It’s important to remember Christ’s Passion -- but also to live it! I just posted today’s installment about Jesus being mocked and abused by the soldiers. <br /><br />I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to keep up with replying to every comment as it comes in this week, but I am reading them all and they are a big contribution to my reflections and writing here.Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-55241536948627258562012-04-05T13:47:32.968-07:002012-04-05T13:47:32.968-07:00You are doing something right, Kitt, for such an e...You are doing something right, Kitt, for such an extreme reaction. No one knows with absolute certainty Jesus' sexuality. But...<br /><br />Fear not! Rejoice!

I am currently reading Patrick Cheng's amazing theological treatise "Radical Love", which I got because you featured it on your recent blog. He makes a wonderful case for the queerness not only of Christ, but of the entire GENUINE understanding of "God with us" as the fundamental reality of humanity's redemption.Trudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866513608442388870noreply@blogger.com
