Explore scripture and apocrypha within and beyond the Abrahamic traditions through the lens of queerness and transness. In this group, we will locate and discuss the deconstruction of gender and sexuality over the ages, recontextualize and reinterpret (in)famous scriptural and apocryphal episodes, and hear historically muted voices from the past and present. This group takes as its starting place the concept of queer and trans theology as one of liberation and compassion.
