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.

The series includes all 24 paintings in Douglas Blanchard's "The Passion of Christ: A Gay Vision," with expanded text by Kittredge Cherry.

LGBT Stations of the Cross shows struggle for equality
 "Stations of the Cross: The Struggle for LGBT Equality" is a new set of 14 paintings that link the crucifixion of Jesus with the history of LGBT people, including the Stonewall Rebellion, Harvey Milk's assassination, AIDS, ex-gay conversion therapy, the same-sex marriage ban, and LGBT teen suicides. Click to see the series at the Jesus in Love Blog.  The paintings will displayed in Washington, DC this week while the Supreme Court looks at marriage equality. Mary Button painted the LGBT Stations series for Believe Out Loud, an online network empowering Christians to work for LGBT equality.

Holy Week is a good time to wrestle with tough issues. Some may enjoy the new book "Faitheist" by Chris Stedman. It tells how he went from being an Evangelical Christian to an openly gay atheist who works to help atheists and believers to find common ground.
This Holy Week let's reflect on the meaning of Christ's suffering and death... and pray for the Supreme Court as it hears oral arguments on LGBT equality. Resurrection is coming. |
