Messages: Queer Communications with the O/other
April 10, 2007
Some of you may remember my friend Tony, who I’ve mentioned from time to time. I often joke with him about being the one person to start and delete more blogs than anyone else I know. Well, he and a friend have started a new site recently, and I think because it is more communal in nature, Tony will have the necessary accountability to keep up with it.
The site is called Messages: Queer Communications with the O/other. Tony, a graduate of McCormick Theological Seminary, and Matt, an M.Div. student at the University of Chicago, write about philosophy, theology, politics, pop culture, queer theory and the church. I will be posting some on the site as well, and I think it will be a good place, especially if you’re interested in postmodern philosophy, theology and queer issues. Check it out here.

Well, that’s about as far to the other side of the spectrum from Driscoll as you can get. And I like it about as much.
Let’s hope this is one blog that gets deleted as quickly as the rest.

Care to elaborate Dave? What’s wrong with this site?

I think Dave may be right. Is this for real? Jesus practicing homosexuality? Doesn’t that seem even a bit…blasphemous?

I didn’t want to ask this as risk of seeming “judgemental”; but is this site by/for Christians who are also practicing homosexuals? Now I don’t even necessarily think that’s a bad thing, but I’m just curious, as the context/culture a writer is coming from has a profound impact on what they are saying.
Interesting blog though for sure…

Michael - that’s a fair question. I think if you read Matt and Tony’s bios, you will find your answer there, pretty clear. I am going to post over there occasionally, and I am married to my wife Sarah, so…clearly all the writing isn’t done by gay writers.
