Abstract

This issue of Currents in Theology and Mission offers up queer theologies that resist categorization. Now, perhaps more than ever before, there is need for the church to show leadership by taking a theological and ethical stance on behalf of marginalized communities. Inspired by this, queer theology has continued to grow and develop, doing the messy work of creating new ways of doing theology in community. The authors of the included essays hold a variety of lived experiences, which overlap in the messiness of queer and LGBTQIA+ theologies.
