 The Power of the Bible
GLBT people also have a particular history with the Bible. Like women and African Americans, the Bible has been used against us to justify oppression. And like women and African Americans, we have developed strategies for appropriating and reclaiming scripture.
Our Story Too... Reading the Bible with "New Eyes"
Does the Bible include references, to, or stories about, gays and lesbians consistent with what historians and anthropologists know about sexuality during Biblical times? The answer is, "Yes!"
Reclaiming Our Place in Biblical Families of Choice
If you have never read the gospel of John, it can be used for your personal prayer empowerment through imaging yourselves in scripture, using centering words and symbols for breath prayers while lingering with God.
Queer Spirituality
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender people have a unique history as spiritual people and our expressions of spirituality are being manifested in powerful and healing ways today. Those expressions are known as "Queer Spirituality."

Homosexuality: Not a Sin... Not a Sickness
The most beautiful word in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is "whosoever." All of God's promises are intended for every human being. This includes gay men and lesbians. How tragic it is that the Christian Church has excluded and persecuted people who are homosexual!
Homosexuality and the Bible... Bad News Or Good News?
Lesbians and gay men face discrimination because of societal attitudes. Unfortunately, these attitudes are often taught by the church. Sadly, the Bible is often used as a weapon to "bash" gays and lesbians.
Coming Out as Sacrament
A sacrament is an act that mediates the grace and mystery of God. Coming out is a sacrament for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) people of faith because it sets us on a lifelong path of manifesting God's grace in our lives.
