Our Vision
|
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.

Austria censors gay Last Supper
after U.S. pressure
A homoerotic Last Supper was removed recently from a church- sponsored art exhibit in Austria after protests sparked by U.S. fundamentalists. The museum director blames the artwork's removal on "massive verbal hostility" from U.S. religious blogs, which then spread to Europe. Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral and Diocesan Museum pulled the main picture from a retrospective exhibit by Alfred Hrdlicka, a celebrated Austrian artist who turned 80 this year. More infoThe website Gloria.tv made a video of the show in an effort to condemn it. Go to video |

A lesbian Christian visits Israel
When a Christian lesbian makes her first trip to Israel, her experiences are sure to be different from the usual Holy Land travelogues. People were touched and laughed out loud -- sometimes both at the same time -- when they read Rev. Nancy Wilson's account of her recent tour of Israel. Nancy is moderator of Metropolitan Community Churches and a leader in the GLBT Christian movement. Click here for more on her adventures in Israel. | |

Greetings!
 Hostility toward gay Jesus art is so common that I wrote a book about
it: Art That Dares: Gay Jesus, Woman Christ, and More. But the
Hrdlicka case in Austria is the first I've seen where the U.S. religious right
managed to limit freedom of speech abroad.
As an American, it upsets me to see America exporting religious intolerance. I hope to spread freedom around the world through the Jesus in Love newsletter, blog and website. Please contact me and let me know what you think.
Blessings, | |
