𖤓 Spring 𖤓 Queer + disabled Christian she/they Anglo-Catholic [Canada] religious sideblog <3 hist/rels student!

[queerevelations]

blog intro of sorts ⭑

hello!! I’ve decided to start a religious sideblog for a couple reasons. I realized recently that I actually can call myself a Christian. Majority of my friends and family aren’t people I can really talk to about this, and my main isn’t the place for religion, so I’m going to put it all here.

My name is Spring, and I use she/they or really any pronouns :]

if you know me from somewhere else, this might get a little weird for both of us as you will likely never have seen this side of me, but you’re welcome nonetheless<3

I follow/like from @13crowsinatree

icon is Bougeureau’s Madonna of Pieta and header is St. Peter’s Basilica taken by me!

here’s some facts abt myself:

• I was baptized on Easter, 2025 🫶

• I’m in university, doing a double honours in religious studies and history + with a certificate in Jewish studies!

• I live in Atlantic Canada, and my church is part of the Anglican Church of Canada

• I’m white and was raised irreligious

• I’m currently learning Dari and Arabic and can speak French and German. I also took a year of Latin, and next year will be taking an Old English course!! Hoping at some point to learn classical Greek and biblical Hebrew.

• my journey with religion actually began with Islam, and I hold a lot of love for it. I became deeply interested in and fond of the Abrahamic faiths starting with Islam in the 10th grade, and have both done my own research and taken classes / gone to lectures on the three faiths. I am also minoring in Abrahamic religions at my uni!! I would love to chat if you belong to/are interested in any of the three :]

• anyone of any or no faith is welcome here!! yes, even yours

• my personal bible is the NRSV Catholic edition<3

• Moses Maimonides truther

• Sufism (and mysticism in general) truther

• I don’t fully align with any particular political party in Canada, but I am a leftist and generally very “liberal” in all areas

• I love, respect, and support all trans and queer folks. God made us in His image and loves all of us. We belong here as much as anyone

• I’m very feminist (but terf unfriendly!) and pro-choice. I will not debate this with anyone so kindly don’t try

• Antizionist. always have been, always will be. zionists dni, you will be blocked

I’m here for fun, be kind and respectful or leave. Same goes for me!

please remember to keep Palestine and Lebanon in your prayers

if you’re reading this, thank you and have a great day<3

Chronically online atheists will claim they are more moral and intelligent than religious people while using ableist and racist-coded language like “schizophrenic” and “primitive” to describe religious people. While they ignore the fact that science has also been used to harm marginalized people. Lack of religion doesn’t make you inherently more tolerant or ethical. It just means you can be an asshole for different reasons.

my medical leave is over, I am officially unemployed, and as a newly disabled person working towards a diagnosis, everything feels very unsure and unsteady, and anxiety about the future is constantly in the back of my head. I've been trying to find greater comfort in the scriptures during this time-- I don't read the Bible as much as I should, so it's definitely been a new experience. So, I wanted to share some of the verses that have brought me some peace these past eight weeks, in case anyone else needs some encouragement to place more trust in the Lord.

(all verses are from the NRSV translation, the Anglicied Catholic edition)

Psalm 37: 7-9

Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;     do not fret over those who prosper in their way,     over those who carry out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.     Do not fret—it leads only to evil. For the wicked shall be cut off,     but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

Psalm 121: 5-8

The Lord is your keeper;     the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day,     nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil;     he will keep your life. The Lord will keep     your going out and your coming in     from this time on and for evermore.

Psalm 147: 2-5

The Lord builds up Jerusalem;     he gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken-hearted,     and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars;     he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;     his understanding is beyond measure.

Isaiah 43: 1-2 , 18-21

But now thus says the Lord,     he who created you, O Jacob,     he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;     I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;     and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,     and the flame shall not consume you.

Lamentations 3: 19-24

The thought of my affliction and my homelessness     is wormwood and gall! My soul continually thinks of it     and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind,     and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,     his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;     great is your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,     ‘therefore I will hope in him.’

John: 14: 1-3

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also."

Revelation 21: 3-6 (my absolute favorite Biblical passage ever)

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.

Happy feast day Jeanne d’Arc!!! St Jeanne d’Arc, Virgin Martyr of God, Soldier Bride of Christ, pray with and for us!

[magdaleneanthony]

some of the saints i feel the most connection to being those whose ministries were spent combatting protestantism or those who converted from anglicanism to roman catholicism

[indynerdgirl]

In honor of St. Joan of Arc's feast day today. 😆

One of the isolating parts of being a queer Christian is feeling like I can only be friends with a religious queer person. I feel like my presence in queer spaces puts people automatically on edge and makes people feel instantly unsafe, even though I make a point to never ever discuss my spirituality in queer spaces, full stop; I don’t want to make others feel unsafe, so I avoid most ‘queer spaces’. it often feels like the only people who don’t mind my presence are religious queer people, Christian or otherwise, and those folks can be hard people to find, and there’s no guarantee that we’ll even get along. So I just kinda float along. It’s lonely, ya know?
