Queering church, churching queers

Cross Currents, Spring, 1999 by Robin Hawley Gorsline

That most church leaders, and certainly the religious and mainstream secular media, have not yet registered the changes happening within queer Christendom - indeed that there is a queer Christendom, perhaps one could say, a "Queendom of God" - is yet one more sign that insurgencies often achieve a great deal before those supposedly in charge even notice. These two books help us to continue to "act up" theologically.

ROBIN HAWLEY GORSLINE is completing his doctoral dissertation on the life and work of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde for anti-racist, pro-same-sex theologizing (at Union Theological Seminary [New York]).
