This book brings together the narratives of diverse ministers from
the Global South in order to show that queer theologies are
impacting in many parts of the world and queer lives are moulding
and enriching Christian ministry. Across Asia, Africa, and Latin
America, we are witnessing the emergence of queer faith-based
communities in very different contexts and with very different
histories. The perspectives included in the book form a tapestry
that honors diversity among the Global South's queer communities
and ministries. They demonstrate the various ways in which queer
ministry challenges and changes theological understanding as well
as religious practice. Each chapter highlights issues pertaining to
liturgy, sacraments, pastoral rites, and the personal faith journey
that each minister underwent to foster pastoral queer theologies.
Contributors focus on their understanding of the relationship
between faith and sexuality, how rituals relate to the daily lives
of queer believers, and the struggles they face within the
political structures of religious institutions. The narratives
highlight some of the challenges and mechanisms deployed to cope
with ingrained LGBTIQ+phobia. They also evidence how communities
enact interreligious and multi-religious dialogue and rituals while
honoring faith and activism, and how prophetic ministries counter
oppressive discourses and colonial performativities. This is a
valuable resource for academics and religious leaders interested in
the study of queer theologies, Asian, African, and Latin American
Christianity, as well as ecclesiastical and liturgical issues.
