It is my honor to be giving the annual Christian Faith & LGBTQIA+ Experience Lecture at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School this evening titled “Queerly Made: From Death-Dealing to Life-Giving Theologies.” Register here: tinyurl.com/cfle2025

February Is Black History Month – Make Some Noise Change for justice, diversity, and inclusion has always required people of faith to make “noise,” as the late congressman John Lewis would say, “get into good trouble.”

"American History is fraught with contradictions, omissions and pain, worsened by elected officials who often chose to serve some of the people but not all. Presidents owned slaves, backed imperialism, supported segregation, remained silent during decades of Black lynchings..." #blackhistorymonth

The Church at its best — challenging empire, not aligning with it 🔥

May the underworlds of queer intersectional community thrive. May we all have spaces of warmth & love & laughter & joy that we can burrow into during these cold &toxic times.

If u’d like such an online space, Churchof theYoungProphets (the LGBTQIA+ virtual church I pastor) is here 4 u. DM for info

Honored to join the faculty at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School as Adjunct Professor for their inaugural Doctor of Ministry in Queer & Trans Theology program. My course, “Queer Constructive Theology,” will be offered online this spring. Let the queer nerds unite 🤓

Happy holidays & merry Christmas! May you find moments of joy amidst these challenging times in the world for our joy is sustenance for the journey. And if you’re like me, I hope those moments include plenty of trains 🚂 ########

Another exciting day at UniversitätWien Protestant Faculty w/the publication of my supervisor’s book “The Theology of Paul Tillich: Contexts & Key Issues.” Was the 1st project I worked on assisting in translation when I moved here 2.5years ago & a joy to see in print: www.mupress.org/mobile/The-T...

6 people sitting around a table, with drinks in their hand/sitting in front of them, smiling into a camera.

#sblaar24 - start with a bunch of wonderful people from Vienna, Innsbruck and different parts of the US. Already had so many good conversations today! Some of these great colleagues are also on here: Thank you, @itsmejjwarren.bsky.social, @jandrewdoole.bsky.social , @laurenrelarkin.bsky.social.

Margaritas with my United Methodist clergy sib means #aarsbl24 has begun 🥂 @shandonklein.bsky.social

Great time in Cheney &Spokane these last 36 hrs. Spoke to a recently formed affirming campus ministry — was the FIRST affirming Christian space some had EVER been in. No matter how many students/parishioners u have, this work matters 🫶🏼

Amen!!!

After about 15 hours I’m still en route to #sblaar24 🤓 Any fellow religion nerds of Bluesky also headed to San Diego?

This could be the start of something new… ✨
