To be a prophet is to deliver an important message and I cannot stress enough how important the writings in "The Book of Queer Prophets" are. It's a beautiful anthology of writings by 24 modern-day prophets who stand at the intersection of sexuality and faith.
Probably my most loved passage from here is one by Lucy Knight in her piece "Jenga-Block Faith". It goes like this: "The world is full of so many different expressions of what it means to be human. And if we - as humans - are made in the image if God, then God must be richly complex and multi-faceted. Which makes sense, really, if they're the creator of the universe. And if we're to take that understanding of who God is, then how can there be possibly be just one solitary way to reflect God's image? There are countless expressions of honouring God, from goody-two-shoes dreamcoat wearing Joseph to Rahab the heroic sex worker." ... really loved that
