Queer Theology

Queering Lent


Listen Later

We’re gonna queer Lent in this episode, y’all! We discuss how to make Lenten practices more inclusive and meaningful for queer and trans individuals and talk about our own personal Lenten practices. We got some ideas for you on how to connect your queerness with spirituality during this season. We also get into the importance of community care, the value of queer organizations, and the significance of reading queer and trans theology. One of our biggest themes is how important it is to take care of our bodies. So it is especially important to  re-inhabit and care for our bodies as part of a queer Lenten practice. 

 

Takeaways

  • Lent is traditionally observed as the 40 days leading up to Easter, and it is a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
  • Queering Lent involves making the practice more inclusive and meaningful for queer and trans individuals.
  • Additive practices, such as reading queer and trans theology or supporting queer organizations, can be incorporated into Lenten observance.
  • Re-inhabiting and caring for our bodies is an important aspect of a queer Lenten practice.
