Vision statement
| |
Jesus in Love supports lesbian, gay, bi trans and queer (LGBTQ) spirituality, with an emphasis on art and literature. It promotes artistic and religious freedom and teaches love for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It is based on these beliefs: God loves all people, including sexual minorities. The creative process is sacred. The queer visions, especially the gay Jesus and LGBT saints, will free people to experience the divine in new ways and lead to a more just world.
Jesus in Love was founded by lesbian Christian author Kittredge Cherry as her personal gift to the world.

One day, two processions; One meek, an arriving Lamb, soothing, offering Grace; The other, Dreadful Power speaking intimidation. One died, and thus lives on. The other lived on, but now is gone. Eric & Scott Hays-Strom |
