Art that shows Jesus as gay has sparked violence--including a recent melee in Sweden.

 Young people tried to set fire to a poster at the cultural center that was exhibiting photos of a queer Christ by Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin. 

Staff intervened and as many as 30 people joined the fight, according to news reports.  The conflict occurred in the Swedish city of Jonkoping, known as a center of evangelical Christianity.

Ohlson Wallin is one of 11 artists whose images appear in my new book Art That Dares: Gay Jesus, Woman Christ, and More. 

The violence in Sweden is the latest example of why the queer Christ is needed.

"Jesus in Love serves gay, lesbian, bi and trans (glbt) people who have spiritual interests, and our allies.  We promote queer spirituality and the arts, with an emphasis on books and images.  We believe that God loves all people, including sexual minorities.  We believe that the creative process is sacred.  We hope that the new visions, especially the gay Jesus, will free people to experience the divine in new ways and lead to a more just world."
