Want to Read $ 8.99"At its purest, at its most compelling, faith is love and joy. It is easy to describe the absence of love and joy. It is harder to describe how it feels when it exists. It just is."-Ruth Hunt, The Book of Queer Prophets: 21 Writers on Sexuality and Religion
"I forgive those who have trespassed against me and my communities, because those who exclude us will not ask themselves, "What if I'm wrong?" I forgive them for keeping me from Christ. For building walls instead of bridges."-Ruth Hunt, The Book of Queer Prophets: 21 Writers on Sexuality and Religion
"What needs to be built? Spaces in this world which hold hope to the fore, communities where it is possible to not need to pass, and moments in time in which we can, however briefly, grasp and celebrate and share something of that divine, eternal perspective."-Ruth Hunt, The Book of Queer Prophets: 21 Writers on Sexuality and Religion
"I have never read anything in the Bible that made me feel that my sexuality excluded me from the kingdom of God. I have never read anything that made me feel that my love for women, not men, should be suppressed and denied. The Bible did not make me feel less than, just because I am a lesbian. There is too much about love in the Bible to feel the opposite."-Ruth Hunt, The Book of Queer Prophets: 21 Writers on Sexuality and Religion
